Congratulations to the 21 Featured Projects! Yup, we have 21 projects again this year. For the second year in a row we had a tie.
Big thanks to everyone who spread the word about the NetSquared Mashup Challenge and got out the vote. You recruited and picked some fantastic mashups. We'll be turning the Projects' comments back on, so feel free to leave them a congratulatory note.
The Featured Projects will be invited to attend this year’s NetSquared Conference (N2Y3) on May 27 and 28 (just after Memorial Day). The Conference will be held at Cisco Systems' Vineyard Conference Center in San Jose, California. Cisco Systems has been our generous host for the previous two NetSquared Conferences.
At the Conference, Project Teams will have an opportunity to display and discuss their mashups, and attendees will vote to select the top three. All 21 Projects at the conference will receive a share of $100,000 in prize money. The share will be determined by voting at the Conference.
Without further ado, here are the 21 Featured Projects listed in alphabetical order:

Well, in a couple of years at least.
Vote Stats
It would be very useful to see the vote statistics (for both featured projects and definitely for those like ours which didn't make it this year).
Vote statistics
Are the voting stats available anywhere? All democratic votes publish numbers of votes and this would be very useful in terms of improving how the vote works and future campaigns. thanks
Vote Stats
Apologies for commenting on this post twice about stats. I thought the post had failed to go through... May as well post a third time to let you know I've emailed organisers to try and progress this.
Vote stats
I agree. It'd be informative to see where we came out.

Publsihing Counts
I agree. Where are you publishing the voting results? I think that is only fair!
