		<description>But I thought it was for start-ups for the past year. That seems to take away almost all the nominees.

And, yes, I did not push The Point for the Crunchies and do a call to the community. It&#039;s a nice thing, I&#039;m sure, but outside the Web  community is it going to have an impact?</description>

re: most likely to succeed, both kayak &amp; wordpress were started in 2004 or earlier... slide&#039;s been around since 2005, but has changed business models significantly since inception.  i know you wouldn&#039;t vote for Mint in a million years (disclosure: i&#039;m an investor), but seems like if you&#039;re not voting for older startups you&#039;d have to choose between Mint &amp; Zivity, or else give Slide the nod.

Thanks for stopping by Dave. I guess I am still confused about your category. It&#039;s hard to compare companies that have been around for years vs. you/zivity for most likely to succeed - the others have multiple years on both companies.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As for Mint, maybe you can talk the founder into chatting with me sometime. I tried many times on the TC comments and he just ignored me each time. I&#039;d love to learn more about the product. Thanks!
&lt;/p&gt;

The only counterpoint to not pushing would be to push as it may have brought more visibility to The Point from the associated blogs. And had it made the finals, more people may have checked it out. I think they will be ready in &#039;08 awards for sure.
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>I&#039;m sure all of the startups want to win. We&#039;re honored to be picked for the Crunchies and think it is really cool. 

We don&#039;t plan on launching soon, but if we had, I&#039;m guessing we&#039;d have a better chance at winning.</description>
