Viralheat. ( http://www.viralheat.com ) We are making some very cool social solutions for marketers. Our latest efforts in identifying human intent is getting good response from the market. http://on.mash.to/fCL2hc
What's for lunch at Tony Roma's? Where can I find the latest from Nike's? Need an oil change in your neighborhood?

NewsBlur is a RSS feed reader like Google Reader, but it has three distinct advantages:
* Shows the original site (you have to see it to believe it)
* Hides stories you don't want to read based on tags, keywords, authors, etc.
* Highlights stories you want to read, based on the same criteria.
It's a very original take on RSS feed reading. It's also being built by a sole indie developer as open-source software: http://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur.
It's freemium, with premium accounts costing $12/year for unlimited feeds, faster updates, River of News, and access to future features like the iPhone app.
It's entirely self-funded, but it very well could become more. And it's already profitable (but most of that is going to paying for servers). Nearly 10,000 users, hundreds of daily users, and lots of very happy folks using it. But there's so much further to go and to build.
Having a table at LAUNCH would be an excellent way to meet potential investors. I'm entirely technical, but good tech means more good tech, so it's also possible to meet more developers, too.
Zazu's ( http://getzazu.com ) heading over to the Bay Area from Boston right around then to meet people. We'd love to be there, it'd be an absolutely spectacular way to meet people! Oh right, should probably tell y'all what we do: We're building Jarvis from Iron Man -- though we're starting a little less grandiose and building the world's most kickass alarm clock.
Zazu.... your stuff is so hot. You're one of the ten tables! email me and I will set it up! jason@launch.is

Here's my pitch though:
Howas.it makes it easy for restaurants to generate, evaluate, and incentivize feedback. Traditional comment cards are antiquated and a pain in the ass to fill out. In addition, an owner has to order hundreds or thousands of static cards at a time. Howas.it allows restaurants to create custom surveys on the fly, build rewards (like coupons and offers), and attach them to their individual locations. Using a mobile optimized, location aware web app, customers can fill out the surveys quickly and easily on their smart phone and receive rewards for doing so. Howas.it is the only customer feedback solution that adds value on both ends and makes it easy and rewarding for customers to participate.
We are a group of 4 guys, trying to make something cool. Vidtonic's Homebrew DIY Android TV kit ( http://www.vidtonic.com ). The idea being if you can build your PC, you can build your own TV. The kit has everything you need to build your own Android TV (panels, main board, cool enclosure, etc..). The TV kit is a 1080p HDTV, in sizes from 22" up to 42". We are expecting to start shipping kits this summer... we also w…
It's pretty interesting. Do you handle Android and TV broadcast in separation? We build a hypervisor for android on omap processors ( http://b-labs.com ). It might be interesting to build a prototype demo for this platform.
However, you have me very intrigued - I think there are ways we could use the hypervisor. Very cool. I'll drop you an email, thanks.

More than 1200 developers have taken the challenge with fantastic engagement scores (95% completed and ~35% reached their goal), and very positive feedback asking for more courses. We're currently working on the next series of courses and some social motivation features to improve those engagement scores even more. We're happiest when our users succeed at reaching their goal, and all of our development efforts are built around that target.
We've been overwhelmed by the great feedback and encouragement we've received from HN, and we'd love the opportunity to share what we're building with a wider audience.
http://www.jollyvine.com We're a complete platform, where public as well as private entities (busineses, governments, schools, and libraries) can share and distribute their events in a social environment, that allows its users to share the events in their own social circles.
