Web 2.0 Summit: Launch Pad

Lauchpad was a quickfire product launch pitch session consisting of 13 produces each getting a 5 minute pitch. The lucky 13 were apparently whittled down from around 150 applicants and hence were all of high quality.

I haven't got time to review them all, so please go and see for yourself:

2. Instructables - A Make-esque system for sharing how to instructions
3. Klostu - A system for uniting the boardscape (blogosphere for message boards)
