Minekey continues to get media coverage from the very successful Lunch 2.0 it hosted back in early September. San Jose Mercury News has just featured Minekey’s Lunch 2.0 on Video. Check it out:

We’re excited about the new set of features added to the Minekey website today, which we’re sure will increase the value of our widget to bloggers, publishers and end users.

New features include:

• Widget Gallery. The Gallery makes it easy for you to syndicate personalized widgets. By creating widgets for the Gallery that display content from your blog, you can secure exposure to a much wider audience.

• OPML Support. In just a few simple steps, you can now display relevant content from your favorite sources in Minekey widgets. By uploading your OPML files, you can quickly create widgets that display content from your blogroll.

• Network. Profile your blog and browsing interests, and showcase your widgets.

• My Reports. We’ve improved the charts significantly and now make available statistics, including the capability for you to track how many of your widgets are being used by other bloggers.

Last week Minekey was showcased as one of the top 25 start-ups in Asia at Proto.In.

Started by Knowledge Foundation and some India blogcampers, Proto.In is modeled on DEMO, Demo Conference, the premier launch venue for new products, technologies and companies in the US.

Gaurav Bhatia, our VP of Engineering gave a great 6 minute presentation, to an audience composed of venture capitalists, media, bloggers and entrepreneurs. His presentation focused on Minekey’s Recommendations Widget, which makes use of advanced online discovery technology to personalize content for each user, based on what they’ve read before what what’s most relevant to them.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to present the Widget. Proto.In is simply the best event in India for showcasing new technologies. As entpreneur and blogger Rajiv Poddar says, Proto.In is “the place soak in the second wave of Indian Entrepreneurship.”

There has been quite some coverage on the blogosphere about the Minekey’s Funding News, even though we didn’t make any announcement from our side. Looks like some of the bloggers extracted this information from a SEC regulatory filing. You Go Blogosphere. Check out the coverage.
