That being said, many real companies have come out of Startup Weekend (and many many more have come out of people meeting or working together at Startup Weekend).
But, a quick list off the top of my head: Zaarly, Foodspotting, Rover, Tioki (formerly DemoLesson), Tapin.tv (YC S12), LaunchRock, Scanadu.
+ ClassDojo - from Startup Weekend UK
+ Demo Lesson (now Tioki) - from Startup Weekend EDU SF
+ Edcanvas - from Startup Weekend EDU Seattle
I am doing my PhD research on the startup ecosystem in Mexico and it would be interested in talking with them about some of my findings.
I have been following closely the development of Startup Weekend in Mexico, and wrote research paper on that. Gustavo and Melina are great :)

I remember vividly when I first saw Google.com. I think it was at the end of the millennia. They got bigger in small increments, but now they are enormous.
