I saw a bunch of cool startups at PC Forum. My fave was SpotRunner. Just a brilliant business idea: Resell leftover TV advertising spots to local small businesses.

Most eagerly-awaited launch: the photo search service Riya. I saw this company at Demo, too. See video. Still waiting to get my hands on the beta!
