The bub.blicio.us crew attended Startup SF to catch all the fun and festivities and was lucky enough to snag an interview with Justine Ezarik (iJustine).

Our guest reporter, Allison Bethurem, chatted with the internet star about what’s new and her participation in the Sporelebrity contest held by Spore. You can check out Justine’s creature over at the Sporelebirty gallery. The winner gets $15,000 for a charity of their choice; Justine’s is the Frozen Pea Fund which we previously wrote about here.

Go vote! Oh, and watch the interview too.

At the 2nd bi-monthly StartupSF event, Brian Solis gave an informative presentation on Conversational PR for Startups. It was held in the office of Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe in downtown San Francisco and started off with brief demos from Mosio, Nirvino, and Inveneo. The event was sponsored by Mashable and Bub.blicio.us and was co-hosted by ServePath/GoGrid and Orrick. Similar to a lot of other events in the bay area, StartupSF brings people from different industries and fields together to promote networking in the world of Web 2.0 and Startups. The best thing in my opinion about this event is that it is a non profit organization where all proceeds go to charity. This month, the proceeds went to Inveneo. The cool thing about Inveneo is that they bring solar powered computers to underdeveloped countries where using a solar powered computer can actually be more cost efficient than using electricity.
