Supernova 2007
        Connected Innovators -- More Details
        Click here for a list of last year’s 12 selected Connected Innovators.
        Selection Criteria:
        This is NOT exclusively a product launch platform; rather, we are looking for technologies that possess the newness and “buzz” factor, including those before and after formal launch events.
        The submitted product presentation should:
        
          - relate to this year’s Supernova 2007, Defining the New Network;
 
          - be considered a groundbreaking “connected technology” which could include a product, service or initiative that falls into either one of the distributed computing, communications, media or business categories; and,
 
          - incite challenging discussion on the topic of innovation amongst the Supernova and TechCrunch audiences. In general, products/brands that have been in the public eye for some time may not qualify unless a significant new development/release will be highlighted.
