We’ve just heard that we’ve been invited to Barcelona to present the learnit widget to a panel of experts at startup 2.0 2008. This is a competition to to promote and reward the European startups that work in the field of 2.0 technologies.

We have immediately accepted the invitation and are now planning our 5 minute presentation - that’s not a lot of time! It’s all very exciting and is definitely a distraction from our maxed out credit cards (we’re so web 2.0 startup!).

The finalists are as follows:

• Wolpy: sharing travel experiences
• iFoods: video recipe site with food community
• UnLtdWorld: connecting social entrepreneurs
• Bubok: online self-publishing tool
• Geospace: about places and people
• AllRise: online community courthouse
• Planetaki: create a web aggregator easily
• Talicius: a community to allows talented people to show their skills and help them to promote themselves.
• Learnit lists: a widget which helps people learn language by seeing 10 words a day
• Zilok: online rental marketplace where anyone can rent or rent out absolutely anything

It should be a great meeting in Barcelona - and a fantastic opportunity to network with other startups who are in the same boat. Can’t wait.
