- chapati, on 01/10/2008, -0/+4Wow, Its amazing to see all these companies coming out of Israel. I've heard that "Journeys" is going to a very interesting website that integrates traveling into virtual worlds. 5min is really a great website, I found it very useful. But I wonder what will happen to all those companies at the end of this year, how many of them will survive. I will be waiting for another post about them in one year from today.

- payzlee, on 01/10/2008, -0/+1wow, i'm jealous... really great for Israel! Great post!
- Ediggs, on 01/10/2008, -1/+4There are at least another 70 companies who applied for the tour and didn't get selected. You probably haven't even heard of them and that's exactly why I founded VC Cafe (www.vccafe.com) in 2005.
- anatkramer, on 01/10/2008, -1/+0Too many video startups. You can be sure that when smell technology kicks in, Israel will be at the forefront
- TalSiach, on 01/10/2008, -1/+6Israel web tour sounds really cool... I have to say that most of the companies there looks interesting. From my own experience Clicktale is a really good product as well as 5min. The logo of the company 8hands is funny because it has only four hands, what happened to the rest...lol
- WordsnCollision, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2On the other side of the octopus?
- sicc, on 01/10/2008, -0/+9Great news for Isreal. I really do believe the Internet can make a big difference and only skimming will check out properly in the morning some very interesting company's.
- Bukowsky, on 01/10/2008, -0/+6huh... I had no idea 5min.com was based in Israel.
- lisapham, on 01/10/2008, -1/+8DUGG for having the word sexiest and Israel in the same sentence!
- kg123, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Ooh! Sexy!
- idosalama, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1great post...you should join a VC...
- MaxGubin, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1I've never could imagine that there are so many interesting startups in Israel!
- amirh1, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1Nice roundup article! Sexy it is - let's see who keeps their sex appeal after the web tour...
- ishay, on 02/06/2008, -0/+0I know at least dozen of more startups that could have gotten into the list easily... I have a problem with lists that claim to contain the "Best of the best". Anyway, The chosen startups are actually sexy, but not the sexiest.
