Paul Boutin is a journalist I’ve been following for some time. He’s very credible. Got this list of the TechCrunch 40 finalists by looking at the banners hanging around the Palace Hotel. I’ve visited all their sites, but many aren’t up yet. Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see who will win the $50,000.
It’s interesting that the best news is flowing over on Twitter. It’s far faster than TechMeme, which doesn’t have anything yet about TechCrunch 40.

Any pointers to where the good twitter/irc/etc is on TC40? I’m at the conf but haven’t found any good chatrooms to hang out at.
First session presentation wrapped (search); easy winner on the “compelling and interesting” scale was German FAROO (P2P search).
