Editor's Notes: Five of the Most Interesting Apps from Startups
So, while nearly all tech news coverage today (I exaggerate, but just a bit) is about the iPhone 3G launch, I figured I’d venture out and highlight five of the most interesting and useful applications from startups that I’ve seen over the last year. This is completely unscientific, so feel free to chime in with your own!
So here they are:
Xobni: Email management app. Founded in 2006 and based in San Francisco.
Shopit: Bringing e-commerce to social networking in a way that seems intuitive and easy. Founded in 2007 and based in Brentwood, Calif.
kannuu: Working to enable easier search. Founded in 2006 and based in Irving, Texas.
Syncplicity: Not a new idea—data access across multiple devices—but perhaps the most comprehensive solution to date. Founded in 2007 and based in San Francisco.
Overlay.tv: Not sure if this will catch on with consumers, but an innovate step in advertising technology. Founded in 2007 and based in Ottawa, Canada.
