Mike had placed a strict embargo for all presenting startups, I guess to get exclusives. Did they really forgot about the banners or this is planned leak to generate additional buzz? If yes, then Mike’s plan is working.

Update 1: Valleywag is reporting that they are banned from attending Techcrunch40. Scoble says that the best news is flowing fast on Twitter, way faster than Techmeme. I disagree, I have been monitoring techmeme and it is updating regularly with very relevant content.

Update 2: Techcrunch finally posted the official list of Techrunch 40.
