Spotsetter uses big data to help you see things from your social graphs
It pulls in Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and other social databases. For me alone that means 60 million objects. Using these social graphs for search means you can see new things that other search engines don't show you (not even the new Bing). Interesting new company from AngelPad, one of the top startup incubators in the world (here we visit them at their desks). Hear what you'll be able to learn by using Spotsetter and sign up for it at http://www.spotsetter.com/
eBuddy brings awesome group messaging to your phone
Are you using SMS mostly to chat with other people on your mobile phone? Well, there's a better way: ebuddy.com's XMS. Here I get a look at this Amsterdam-based company (we visited on a Saturday, so founder/CEO Jan-Joost Rueb had his daughter with him). Use it to message with groups, but it does a lot more than SMS and here you see what it does. Get it at http://www.ebuddy.com/
