Top 10 British dotcoms to watch

Marcus Duffy, Technical ManagerThe Guardian recently published a list of their top 10 British dotcoms to watch, many of which I hadn’t heard of. It’s nice to see some good ideas coming out of this country. How many times have you checked out the latest cool web app and ended up thinking, “Yeah, it’s cool, but if only they had it with UK data.”

As someone looking to move house in the near-future, I’m particularly liking the GoogleMaps-powered ononemap.com and extate.co.uk

Their top 10 (in alphabetical order):

Dopplr
Social networking for frequent travellers.

Extate
Intelligent search of property websites.

Garlik
Online identity management.

MindCandy
Alternate reality gaming.

Moo
Print on demand: cards, notes and stickers.

OnOneMap
Map-based property search.

Touch Local
Local directory services.

Trusted Places
User-created local information.

Zopa
Peer to peer lending.

Zubka
Recruitment 2.0.
