If Twitter isn't your thing, over on PaymentsViews.com, Glenbrook's Allen Weinberg is live blogging from FinovateStartup today.

FinovateStartup 2009 is being held today in San Francisco. As befits a financial technology-oriented conference - especially in San Francisco, there are a number of attendees who are tweeting away about what they're seeing - to follow along, view #finovate on Twitter. Glenbrook's Erin McCune (tweeting as @erinmccune) and Allen Weinberg are both attending today's conference - if you're there, be sure to look them up and say hi!

Jim Bruene's FinovateStartup conference is coming up next Tuesday in San Francisco. Tonight, Jim announced a new option for attending - via webcast instead of traveling to San Francisco.

Erin McCune blogs the best of show awards for today's Finovate Startup conference. My notes from the company presentations are available here. It was a great event, extremely fast paced and a lot of fun. Be sure to read Erin's coverage as well.

We're live at the wonderful UCSF Conference Center in the Mission Bay of San Francisco - about a minute until the first demo session begins at FinovateStartup. We'll be updating this post with our notes from the demos through the day. READ MORE »
