Welcome back, startup fans. It’s time for another day packed full of tech illuminati, breaking news, and genuinely amazing companies making their debuts. Our agenda for today includes a great number of investors, entrepreneurs, mayors of major cities, and someone who calls himself Chamillionaire.

As always, we’ll be streaming live all day long, as well as taping behind-the-scenes footage and interviews. And as always, employ the #tcdisrupt hashtag for Twitter, Flickr, blog posts, and all the other usual methods of propagating information.

Those of you attending: don’t forget to spend some time in Startup Alley and vote for your favorite; pleasant surprises abound, like yesterday’s crowd-pleasing Miso Music. We’ll be updating this post with significant developments, interesting external coverage, and whatever else we think might improve your Disrupt experience, so refresh early and often.
