Techcrunch, TailRank and Flock - Bleeding Edge

Every day I read Micheal Arrington at Techcrunch to discover new Web 2.0 companies and their products. Last night he hosted the third Techcrunch BBQ. I would have attended except I live 3000 miles away.

Dave Winer gave a rousing keynote that got everyone fired up. People are calling it the Flickr of keynotes. The always cool Marc Canter and his wife were in costume (picture also shows Keith Teare). Robert Scoble was here for hours and barely left the back room where we were showing raw demos of the really young companies, including edgeio.

The pictures came from attendees who posted them to Flickr.

Kevin Burton (working on the stove) demonstrated TailRank. I am a Beta Tester. He is offering beta invites for a $20 donation. He wants to fund his startup from donations and advertising.

I started this post with Flock, but it too difficult to use at this point. I do want to make it my primary blogging tool but I could not get it to sign on to my any of my three blogs, nor could I find a spell checker. I will stick to Nvu for the moment.
