It was a great turnout for the PopSignal event last night in Boston. All of the usual suspects were out in force and the registration table claimed they had close to the 600 registered attendees there at the event.
I also spoke with quite a few small startups either are launched or just about to get going including 2 "wisdom of the crowd" (love the buzzwords) plays that were interesting. There first person I talked with was Craig from a NH based startup called Vendorcity. Vendorcity will create a new way for SMBs to source services. There was also micro-entrepreneur James who is working on a stealth way for open source projects to "crowd source" (buzzword again) their project management ideas. I’ll keep you updated on both startups as they develop.
And not to be outdone, tripadvisor pulled out their full-sized mascot. I wonder what the executive meeting was like when they debuted this costumed character? Who pulled the short straw to where this last night?
Cheers!

Hi David,
Thanks for mentioning us in your article. We had a great time last night as well. PopSignal and everyone else did a great job and our startup team of three from NH, Mass, and Maine all had a great time meeting everyone.
For those that we did not get a chance to meet, VendorCity is a B2B recommendation engine allowing you to find the best and most respected vendors in your area. We will launch in our public BETA in Boston and New Hampshire next month. So come join and highlight the vendors that have treated you well!
