The jury selected 20 startups out of 200 submissions to present during The Next Web Conference (to be announced) and last Tuesday we decided to give start-ups who wanted to earn their spot onstage at the conference a second chance. We gave them 2 days to post a YouTube movie with their pitch.
We received 15 pitches (included here) which now all have a chance to appear at The Next Web Conference 2009 and pitch their start-up to an audience of 900 Internet professionals. The 3 startups with the most votes will win (cheating in any way will lead to elimination from this competition)
Vote via the voting poll AND/OR via Twitter:
So now it is up to you. Who do YOU want to see onstage? Who deserves this unique opportunity? You can vote via the poll on the right here AND double your vote by also tweeting @thenextweb I want to see #NameStartup on stage during The Next Web Rising Sun Startup Rally #startupvote
Go for it!

Good Luck to every Startup.
BTW, the voting script is simple and neat, I like it.
@Kimengi – win the netflix prize to show you’re the best :)
Its about who has the largest following overall and whether you can ask them for a favor. The loyalty of your audience is a pretty good sign of how successful your start-up is. No system is perfect but at least this one is harder to game than just clicks…
This vote is about who has the most twitter follower and defenitely is not about which startup deserves a second chanche.
The winnershave been announced on Mashable: http://mashable.com/2009/04/05/europe-social-media/
Attention span deficit did not allow me to make it through all the videos.. next startup on the list who posts a message here will win my vote.
Good Luck, all of you deserve to win!
oops, too late. Congrats winners! Bravo
@Ben_G Nice one ;-) Maybe if we could clone ourselves, we could spend some time on Netflix too! ;-)
For now, they just have to wait!
