I am very familiar with many of these companies. I use Dropcard about a few times a week. These guys have made it extraordinarily easy to send a digital business card that you can easily add to any address book. Just try it. It will take you less than 15 minutes to get set up. I’ll certainly be using it at TC50 next week.
Vuzit is a great idea backed by great technology. Some people really are looking for a white label solution for viewing documents and don’t want their documents hosted at Scribd or Docstoc which have more of a YouTube model. They’ve also got some features you won’t find elsewhere.
Anthilllz also has some great potential. LinkedIn lets you recommend others, but this entire site is built upon your recommendations and others’ opinions of you. Imagine you’re looking for a new web designer. What is more important, a LinkedIn profile (essentially a resume) or a place that has truly honest reviews? If Anthillz is successful at building out its network through its “Trusted Colleagues” feature (which is a great viral feature), then you’ll find it quickly become a place where people’s reputations live and die.
I can’t really speak to the other companies as I’m not too familiar, and I think that maybe some of the ideas for some of those companies might be a little flaky from these summaries, but there are some very promising companies in the bunch. They may not ever be huge, but they can certainly be successful.
