We burned our eyeballs looking through the long list of company's presenting at the upcoming DEMO conference in the US to find a couple of European startups that will be making their pitch - we found Whisher, which is a beta, and Total Immersion, which isn't. We also have an update on Collanos, the Swiss/US startup taking on Groove in the US. It's in the hot betas section because its got some interesting and even amusing marketing going on in its blog.

Whisher - Spanish WiFi network operator. Still in stealth mode but some blog posts suggest that it's a competitor for FON. Big in Balbao, apparently.

Collanos asked some folks to provide one liners to promote its upcoming marketing event.

As the father of 4 small children, nothing is more important to me than team collaboration. Alas, no matter how much I nag, my kids refuse to update the homework wiki. I really should force them all to use their Blackberry’s. Particularly my 5 year old. He’s such a luddite.

(Dave Hornik)

35% of the lessons learned in our class surround the cross-disciplinary nature of the innovation experience. Given that the class focuses on the innovation process and not on team dynamics, there must be something to the team collaboration thing.
(Sara Beckman)
Often the coordination of a geographically distributed team is like herding virtual cats in Second Life!”
(David Coleman)
