I couldn’t make the event this year but have been enjoying the webcasts. Some interesting companies that are providing interesting market solutions people might want to start tracking. I’ve noted below a few cool companies that caught my attention but if you want to see the full list of startup companies at TechCrunch Disrupt 2010 Microsoft’s Bing Visual search engine does a really cool job and shows all the company names and logos – looks good Microsoft!. Just click the image below to go to Bing visual search results page.

TechCrunch Disrupt Startups Listing

UPDATE 21:45 PST. It seems that Bing visual search is no longer displaying these results.You get the same error when searching on “tc disrupt” directly on bing so It might be down now or something. Please try again later if it fails. Sorry.

Here’s some of the companies that caught my attention (no particular order):
Marketfish –
Always can use more cloud service providers and targeted, qualified leads and keep costs of starting a newco low.

Qwiki – The presentation was interesting and has me curious to know more. Will definitely want to get my hands on this and see if it’s really that simple and engaging.

GameCrush – This was totally cool and might be very successful…I’m just a bit old and married though so not something for me. where was this when I was in my 20′s! Pretty clever matchmaking service guys. Young, single gamers, men and women, should definitely check this out.

MyBandStock This one seems very cool. The emotional magnetism of music – especially to youth – combined with the ability to actively engage with your favorite musicians seems like a very powerful force. Check em out

Teamly is also very cool. I’m a fan of cloud services like this that help startups lower costs.

Well here’s one that I question will make it. One of the thing most investors ask themselves when investing in a company is if the company is building a feature, product or company. Bubbalon, while cute, is a feature. They are tackling a very short term problem that Yelp can add quickly (and should already offer). Yelp simply has the customer base and I think you will need more than an mobile post, short brief reviews feature to gain any traction. Sorry Bubbalon

UPDATE – 21:57 PST

Something odd is going on with Bing visual search. When searching for “techcrunch disrupt” and #tc disrupt” as I had done earlier i still get the no results found. I took a screenshot of the bing search results listing but when you click through now you get page not found. As you can see from my screenshot above, and from the listing, that Bing DID show the full list of startup companies earlier. Maybe it’s a tech issue or maybe they were asked by TechCrunch to remove the search, does anyone know? Here’s the screen on the search listing. Maybe they will display again tomorrow.

UPDATE – Sep 30 14:55

Looks like Bing is back working…enjoy.
