The InnoEco Awards from Tonight's TechStars Demo Night

Best Position to Be In: Oneforty, which has already taken in funding from angel investors. They're planning a beta launch of the "app store for Twitter" on September 22nd, and founder Laura Fitton was generous enough to mention that she may re-open the funding round to other angel investors.

Most Likely to Be Acquired: Localytics, which helps developers of mobile apps understand how they're being downloaded, purchased, and used. When you call yourself "the Nielsen of mobile measurement," that's sure to get the attention of Nielsen (and their metrics-obsessed competitors).

Wittiest PowerPoint: Tempmine, an online marketplace for temp staffers founded by the Monaghan brothers. Under one of their photos, the caption: "Mom's second-favorite son."

Most Infomercial-esque: Ajay Kulkarni from Sensobi, a company making a "personal relationship management" app for the BlackBerry, was so emphatic he could've sold a thousand ShamWows. (My neighbor was downloading the app while the presentation was still going on.)

Best Identification of a "Pain Point": HaveMyShift, which lets workers at chains like Starbucks and Whole Foods trade off shifts (the co-founders have first-hand experience as baristas and ice cream scoopers).

Best Idea: My favorite of all the companies was LangoLab, which is using videos from sites like YouTube and Hulu to teach foreign languages. Look out, Berlitz!

Among the others: I liked AmpIdea's Internet-connected baby monitor (especially the idea that it'd automatically track sleep patterns), but the company is going to have challenges keeping the price down and bringing a consumer device to market; AccelGolf has some neat ideas about helping duffers improve their game; and Baydin had the chutzpah to make lots of cracks about the shortcomings of Microsoft SharePoint in Microsoft's house. If Baydin can actually solve the riddle of corporate knowledge management after decades of other companies trying and failing, well, I will be astounded.

All of the companies will have challenges building momentum and reaching the right customers without spending much on marketing. The word "freemium" was mentioned quite a few times, but that business model won't catapult everyone to phenomenal success.

The crowd was a really nice slice of Boston entrepreneurship, innovation, and media: angel investors Joe Caruso, Dan Weinreb, John Landry, and Jean Hammond; Google Ventures co-managing director Rich Miner; Harmonix Music Systems co-founder Eran Egozy, fresh from yesterday's launch of "The Beatles: Rock Band"; VCs Brad Feld of Foundry Group, Bijan Sabet of Spark Capital, Lee Hower of Point Judith Capital, and Eric Hjerpe of Kepha Partners; Microsoft blogger Don Dodge; Jason Schupbach, the state's liaison to the IT industry; Olin College entrepreneur Evan Morikawa; former MIT Entrepreneurship Center director Ken Morse; Venrock partner and WebInno host David Beisel; Gabor Garai from Foley & Lardner; ex-Compete CEO Don McLagan; executive recruiter Clark Waterfall; Xconomy scribe Wade Roush; PEHub editor Dan Primack; Betahouse founder Jon Pierce; and Avid Technology founder Bill Warner, who helped bring TechStars to Boston in the first place.

Updates:
