The excellent innovation and entrepreneurship focused publication, Anthill Magazine, have released their Smart 100 list of Australia’s most promising innovations and it features a whole bunch of web startups.

You can checkout the top 50 HERE and 51-100 HERE.

The Smart 100, compiled by Australian Anthill and Colmar Brunton , involved running the approximately 900 companies who submitted their products and services past a panel of over 1600 Mavens (in the Tipping Point sense of the word).

Good to see a few TechNation Australia favourites, like Applebox (#51) redbubble (#82) and 99designs (#93) representing.

I’m a little pissed off to see Qlikview in there taking attention away from real Australian Enterprise 2.0 apps (QlikView is not an Aussie product, something which we found out after being a little confused by a press release sent through to us by their local distributor).  But hey, good on Inside Info for getting their name on the list.

Looking through the full set of names, its a bit of a wake-up call. No doubt many of us think that the tech startup industry is, and is perceived to be by the general public, at the forefront of innovation in Australia.

Look through the list and you get a feel for what ordinary Aussies, as opposed to the local Twitterati, think is really important.
