“The better companies are going to TechCrunch 50. At least that's the way it looks from the companies I've seen who are going to one of them.”

You are not exactly an unbiased source there, Scoble. :-) - darnell

I'm still annoyed that socialmedian is relegated to the demo pit ;) - Jason Goldberg

What did you just say? You've looked at the companies going to one of them and made a judgement? - Michael Markman

Good question Michael - Kyle Lacy

Has anyone done the work of looking at last year's crop of Demo and TechCrunch companies and asking "where are they now?"? - Michael Markman

Michael: I have been asked by a group of companies to stay quiet because they are going to either TC50 or Demo. The companies I talked with say they'd rather go to TC50 and the better quality companies that I've seen are at TC50. Jason, based on the companies I've seen, I can understand why socialmedian didn't get picked. Socialmedian is pretty nice, but isn't as nice as the companies I've seen that will be at TC50. - Robert Scoble

Michael: you bring up a good point. Out of all the people who won last year I can only remember Mint, which is doing very well. I had to go to Google to remember the rest of the list. - Robert Scoble

wow.... that's very exciting for TC50 -- sounds like there will be a lot of great stuff there. FYI. socialmedian (I'm told) didn't get picked because we were out of stealth mode too early for the rules for TC50. - Jason Goldberg
