Dearborn, MI, November 26, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Chosen from thousands of contestants, jexbo, www.jexbo.com, won an “Honorable Mention” for one of the 2008 “Most Innovative” new businesses in StartupNation’s second annual Home-Based 100 Contest at http://www.startupnation.com/homebased100/honorary/120/index.php.

• Find unique and inexpensive gifts for the holidays;

• Access free tips and information on writing, small business and self-publishing via Exler’s blog and newsletter.

“The quality of contestants for this year’s competition was extraordinary,” says Rich Sloan, StartupNation Co-founder. “In fact, it was incredibly difficult to give credit to only the Top Tens across our various categories so this year, we’re paying special tribute to the runner-ups, or those who almost made the cut and have a ton of merit as outstanding businesses.”

Chosen by a team of judges and the number of votes received on the contest site, the StartupNation Home-Based 100 ranks the best performing home-based businesses across America in several categories. jexbo received an “Honorable Mention” in the “Most Innovative” category and is now recognized as one of the “pioneers of amazingly innovative products and services that have made it to market.”

“After struggling to take my idea and turn it into a growing business that helps other self-published authors succeed, it is an honor to be recognized as one of the most innovative new businesses in 2008 by StartupNation, says Exler, jexbo Founder. “In our ongoing efforts to meet customer needs, we plan to significantly improve our offerings and provide valuable and cost-effective benefits to self-published authors, readers and other mother-entrepreneurs via jexbo, my newsletter and my blog in the months ahead.”
