Mobile social network and IM aggregator, Xumii, has made it through to the 2nd Round of the MobileMonday Peer Awards 2009.

The MobileMonday Mobile Peer Awards are among the most influential events in the mobile industry and, with over 1000 attendants, the point of reference in startup innovation during the Mobile World Congress.

163 startups participated and 42 nominees (including Xumii) were selected for this round.

Xumii CEO, Jennifer Zanich was pleased to be representing Sydney and Australia at the awards. “We’re quite honoured to be MobileMonday Sydney’s pick! Wish us luck!”

We do wish you luck, Jennifer, and hope that Xumii will go on and win the whole thing.

An international Jury will now select the 20 finalists to present at the Peer Awards event in Barcelona.

The finalists chosen to present in Barcelona will be announced on January 26th (is that an omen?), culminating in a final award ceremony on February 16th.

Hopefully more good news to come…
