moving in small spaces with vision and vivacity

big companies rethinking moving in small spaces with vision and vivacity. This is what start ups must do, last month I had the pleasure of interviewing Tech startups at a meet up in Zurich at Techcrunch. There were 40 startups there and some really stood out like amazee where you can manage collaborations and projects online. Watch video interviews Wua.la social network storage solutions, Yattoo free TV on your laptop, W2ML a simple writing platform, Poken a new social, virtual gadget, Yes.com music sharing and voting for your site, and an opportunity to win 100,000 dollars by downloading itunes. So many brilliant tech ideas from the sharpest minds in the business. I'll be featuring some of their interviews here over the following weeks.
