TECH cocktail DC 2 Thank You & Photos
April 25, 2008

Thanks to the over 400 TECH cocktailers that came together at MCCXXIII (1223 Club) last night on the warm spring evening in Washington, D.C. We are happy we were able bring the community together and show off some of the local technology startups. We had some great demos from the following companies:
AwayFind - a product aimed at helping combat the email problem by letting your contacts get in touch with you via an online form.
iGala - a digital photo frame with a touchscreen interface that connects directly to Flickr and Gmail to stream photos to the frame like a slideshow.
Loladex - offers local recommendations from your trusted network of Facebook friends.
Odeo - launched a new beta verision which offers both search and personalized content (audio and video) recommendations.
Voxant - a free licensed content offering for publishers which offers a pageview based revenue share to anyone that embeds the content on a their site.
WhyGoSolo - a new social networking site aimed at helping you to create spontaneous new connections so, as its name implies, you won’t go solo any longer.
We could not put on an event like TECH cocktail DC 2 without the support of our sponsors which included AOL, Viget Labs, Voxant, Network Solutions and Jess3 - thank you. Stickers for TECH cocktail DC 2 were provided by StickerGiant.com.
The very talented D.C. local photographer Raoul Pop captured the evenings happenings in his photos - check out the TECH cocktail DC 2 Photos.
