Le Web in Paris kicked off today and as we’ve previously mentioned, TechCrunch Europe is co-organising the Startup Competition.

We’re breaking the news about the startups launching at the event as they happen, so please tune in to our RSS feed and our Twitter account @TCEurope to get the latest updates. Tomorrow we’ll be publishing as wrap on the finalists and the winner.

We’ve already blogged the launch of companies like CloudSplit, Task.ly, Tigerlilly, Stribe, and Friendbinder. And there’ll be plenty more throughout the day.

As Mike Arrington says, Le Web isn’t just Europe’s most important tech event any more, it’s turning into a must-attend event for people around the world.
