10 startups to watch

I only got through #7. Srsly? "Instant voicing"? A social network... for ad targeting? "Our competition is the post-it note"?

Every one of these ideas --- at least up to #7 --- could have been launched in 1999, in the middle of the bubble.

Qik is definitely worth watching!

I would seriously like to be educated as to what is interesting about Qik. I don't pay enough attention to mobile.

I'm going to say though that a spot update on the Duncan Hunter campaign is not a compelling story about value. =)

This is the only one from the list that I think is going anywhere.

Maybe the idea is to watch these startups.... explode?

Ok. Right here. Right now. Deadpool. I vote "Pingo" or Pingeroo" or whatever that first voice IM thing was.
