From the Teclosion 2011 Spring Event In Tokyo: 15 Demos From Japanese Startups

On Friday, I attended Teclosion Spring 2011 in Tokyo/Japan, a one-day web industry event (backed by TechCrunch Japan and Tokyo-based UI design company DESIGN IT!, amongst others) that was very much focused on the local startup scene. The largest chunk of the schedule was reserved for 15 Japanese start-ups, which presented their services onstage to a panel of judges and a crowd of around 300 people. Here are thumbnail sketches of all the services that were shown at the event?s so-called "Startup Battle".
