I'm certainly not one to think TC is awesome but I only recognized one name on the list (PushBullet) and that's strictly b/c they posted something here on HN yesterday (that I didn't even read). I'm hardly representative of "the world" but I'd guess that I'm probably fairly indicative of your average 35-45yo male in the US. So did TC miss these or is the author just trying to make a sensational headline? I'm going with the latter.<p>Calling some of these "startups" is just silly also. Name Mesh - it's a combo of a domain name generator/finder and a coupon finding site. Is anyone surprised that NameMesh wasn't picked by TC for a spotlight/piece?
