My votes (assuming I get two) would be for zebtab.com and vzaar. Zebtab push me great content and vzaar help me sell stuff on ebay. Both uk startups doing interesting things.

I’m going for Rememble.com!

I’ve got tonnes of digital memories scattered across email accounts, mobile phones and various websites. Now I can bring them altogether on one timeline. Their design looks great too.

For Europe, I would certainly nominate aka-aki, a mobile social network based on Bluetooth. It is based in Berlin and, for the moment, only available in German (still in private beta). While the idea is not *really* new, they offer a fresh and well elaborated approach to the topic. To my mind, the team has very good chances to make it a success. btw, it has already been covered by Techcrunch.com a couple of times:

A couple of suggestions from me: http://www.blurb.com, http://www.mymuesli.com (what a great concept!). I’ve also heard great things about TechEnlightenment and New Bamboo. Bring on 2008!

In the UK, it has to be lastfm.com (if they started in 2007), on the European front, I would say http://www.talicious.com and http://www.zattoo.com

Under the European category I would nominate Zemanta… they are a great group of guys and I like their product, its something I would be excited to use.

Under the UK category I would nominate Flexiscale. They have incredibly attentive and knowledgeable account staff, and the concept is just what I wanted as a startup!

I thought, iDesktop.tv was probably the best (UK) and coolest in terms of functionality and innovation.

But then again I’d normally consider other things when thinking of best all round, and most crucial of all is income. I can’t yet see how money is going to be made off iDesktop. They might get some VC, but I don’t consider that income.
