Congrats to Conor O'Neill for launching Blognation Ireland today. The Irish site is part of the blognation network which is building up to be the biggest tech news site on non-US Web 2.0 startups around the globe.
It kicks off with a great roundup of web 2.0 projects in Ireland. I've been following most of these companies for a while, but its great to have this kind of overview.
Conor makes an excellent point about the suitability of Web 2.0 projects to an environment in which investment is hard to come by:
The challenges faced by startups here actually mean that Web2.0 has a strong fit to Ireland; low-cost and free tools and technologies which can be used by tiny teams scattered around the country to create compelling web applications. Whilst most enterprise development is centred on a few large population centres, the majority of webapps in Ireland are coming from the “long tail” of locations.
Hot on the heels of last weeks Open Coffee Club broadcast, this is another step in the right direction.
