TechCrunch 50 2008

Last week I had the opportunity to attend TechCrunch50 in San Francisco.This is the second year for TechCrunch, this year over 1000 start up companies applied to present their company before some of the top industry professionals in the web world, only 50 were chosen.

One of the companies chosen was Tingz, a company that I have worked with almost since it started. tingz_61_mini.png
Tingz lets you share information between your computer, smart phone and television, or with friends. No matter what device you are using this information will look and work the same way. To get more information about Tingz click on the link and go to 'learn more". The beta should be released soon.

All of the 50 companies were interesting, a few stood out. I liked:
- OtherInBox - it automatically organizes email
- Yammer - Yammer was chosen as the winner out of the 50 entrants, its a clever method of sharing information within a company
- Atmosphir - create your own computer games

And beyond the 50 companies presenting there was Demo Alley. The 'alley' had more companies. Animoto is a company that I will keeping an eye on.

Among the companies at TechCrunch50 is probably the next Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. Please go to TechCrunch50 and take a look at the entrants. Which one do you think will be the next big thing?
