There are discussions recently about China’s online ad network business booming, led by the capital market. At least two new large ad networks in the country I know have received strategic investment from either venture capital or private equity firms.

TxtRoo , a company that was invented and coded into existence from the Stanford StartupBus headed to SXSW in Austin, Texas last week, can best be described as a Yelp for the feature phone market. Like Yelp, which delivers user reviews and other local business information to both web and smartphone users, TxtRoo aims to do the same using SMS text messages. What’s most interesting about TxtRoo, however, is how quickly it was able to sign up customers. The team had commitments from half a dozen local businesses before the prototype was even finished – about 6 hours into its development. The company was one of the many teams on this year’s StartupBus event, a 72-hour hackathon that challenges entrepreneurs to design, build and pitch a business idea while traveling from their hometowns to SXSW in Austin, Texas. ( Note: TechCrunch TV was covering StartupBus from the road.
