In only 2 days The Next Web Conference 2008 will be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We will post short daily updates about speakers, initiatives and events here.
Earlier we announced the 24 start-ups that would present on stage at The Next Web Conference in two days. We announced the first 22 and we thought it would be a good idea to let you decide who you want to see in the last two 5 minute presentations.
So now YOU can decide which 2 companies will present on stage on Friday. The two companies who have the most votes on Wednesday April 2nd at noon will be presenting on The Next Web.
We played around with a couple of widgets and Poll PHP Scripts but decided it would be more fun to simply count comments.
Here are the companies:

I didn t found a soocial invite and I really love Plaxo so my vote is going to VIDDIX.
VIDDIX is really awesome.
My vote is for Soocial! Liked their pitch at the sweepstake ;)
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooocial!
Wuzzon.com
Soocial.com
My vote is for WuzzOn, i like it that they offer a fair service, especially compared to crazy frog and other ringtone companies who are only trying to set you up with 10 euro/week subscription plans. As especially a younger group tends to fall for the “ringtone maffia’s” ads I hope WuzzOn will be able to gain in recognition-share in the teen-targetmarket and fight the “ringtonemob”.
Soocial.
All the way!
definitely VIDDIX.COM
Locle! Sounds very promising!
My vote goes to Viddix.
my vote is for social!
Wuzzon!
Locle!

Soocial. Definitely Gay, but cool app…
Man that soocial video is hi-la-ri-ous!!! If they deliver I’m game, this is exactly what I need. my contacts are a mess too!!! I have so many cool little gadgets. My iPhone, my laptop, gmail, hotmail. If I can have my contacts synced, automatically, without me having to do a thing on every single device and service, that would be awesome!!! So for me it’s soocial, it’s a no brainer
Wuzzon rules!
go soocial
wuzzon, why doesn’t your website work in safari? i can’t navigate around your site… i vote for soocial, fun guys and a great service
Soocial!! Why? Just try…
Soocial all the way!
Soocial. Seems like something I would actually use. Could help manage the proliferation of all the myriad communications platforms.
My vote goes to VIDDIX.
To mee it seems a company with big potentials. I want to use VIDDIX to promote my company. By showing a video and in the same time explaining with words or graphics it gives the viewer a good example of the meaning.
I also think it has great opportunities in teachingprograms.
Good luck !
from HannaH
my vote is for viddix it’s gona be the next new thing in online video.
A vote for a fun and Hassle Free demo (but not Hassel Free i hope ;) ) is a vote for Soocial.com!
VIDDIX.com
For Wuzzon, of course: They’re stimulating creativity and making it easy to be an internet-entrepreneur…
I vote for SOOCIAL!!!
Don’t mess with the ‘Hoff…
I vote for SOOCIAL!!
Ik stem voor soocial van wegen de sex appeal van Hasselhof
VIDDIX!
Very useful; Integrated services to communicate effectively – that’s good for everyone!

curious about their solution
Soocial, of course. Not only is it an app we could all use, the ad rocks
Locle.com. Genius!
Locle!
Locle sounds brilliant – very forward thinking.
Like to see locle up on stage man.
VIDDIX.com !!!!
Locle! Superior product, or as we say in the Dam: “Doe mij Locle!”
I favour locle.com The fast waning social networking sites need a new input of spice and this is surely it.
Locle! Locle! Locle!
gogo
locle! It is the best!
Mobile-phone-revolution-a-go-go!!
Vote Locle!!! Woooo!
Locle!!
locle.com is the obvious choice
Soocial!
I’m going for Viddix – the world needs to know more!
locle.com.
Have seen it in action and it’s really something else. Brings high-tech to low end devices. The number of applications for the technology are endless – this goes way beyond social usual networking rubbish and heralds the age of geo tracking, local area ‘geo-gaming’, parent-child peace of mind, citizen protection etc.
Locle is only company listed above that is an actual realisation of a new technology.
I’m for Locle
No doubt about it. LOCLE. It’s dynamite!!!
loooooocle :)!!
locle.com
Viddix – why has this not been thought of before – it has strong potential as a platform for delivery of online education – after all – isn’t 80% of communication visual, not verbal??
wuzzon!!!!!!
Go for Locle – wayhey!!!
LOCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s the best.
eline
Say yo to Locle!!

My vote goes to viddix
Hi, I vote for the Soocial video / presentation. Being now in the Silicon Valley area and just coming from Cisco I would view their webapplication as what is needed for all people communicating on the web. Hans
Locle just seems like another crap as social networking thing. It’s just too much, and now you want to let everyone know where you are and when… NO THANKS. What if governments start using this against us?!!!
my vote goes to soocial, because it keeps me up to date, on the road.
I’m constantly running around and have so many different devices… I just want something that keeps them all synced up, without me having to do a thing except add a new contact. It seems a bit of a waste of effort, but it surprises me every single time how often I’m looking for contact details that I stored on a different device.
go soocial go, get out of the beta and conquer your market
Let Locle.com present! They’re definitely the most interesting.
It’s Locle or Nocle.
My vote goes to VIDDIX.com

To James Ward:
James, in response to your comments. Locle is not just “another social thing”. It does two key things: (1) identifies where you and your friends are WITHOUT the need for GPS or a mobile operator with LBS. (2) Integrates into the social networks you already use, and if you don’t use any (if nobody will accept your friend requests) then it utilizes your phone’s address book as your “friend” list. The system is completely opt-in. YOU select who gets to see your location. Unless the government is a friend that you have chosen to see where you are (and somepeople would choose that) then they will not know where you are. The system has so many applications beyond the mundane “where are my pals tonight?”: parent-child monitoring, sales force automation, fleet management, asset tracking (medicines), location based games, emergency response management, aggregated traffic analysis, real-time public transport information, etc. etc. Why not take a look at our presentation before making too many judgements, eh?
See you in Amsterdam.
