That’s why 19 hand-picked, U.K.-based Web technology companies are in the United States this week hoping some of the residue of the American Dream – in the form of Twitter, Microsoft and Google -- will rub off on them.

Called Web Mission 2011, 19 growing British Web technology companies are meeting with a contingent of American web technology companies this week, including a meeting with Twitter that took place yesterday (March 7).

The participating companies were chosen by the U.K.’s Technology Strategy Board, a business-led government body which works to create economic growth and innovation.

The group will meet with Facebook when they return to London next week.
