25 startups to watch out for

Business 2.0 has an article where they list the 25 Web 2.0 startups to watch out for in 2007. Most of them are in Silicon Valley. Yay. 🙂

Many of their choices for last year are still in existence: Digg, Trulia, Technorati, JotSpot, Writely. The last two were snapped up by Google, though. But one of the 25 succeeded even beyond wildest expectations: YouTube, purchased in October by Google for a game-changing $1.65 billion.

Of course you may not even have heard the names of some of them leave alone use them. That shows how fast the web2.0 circle is moving. Websites are springing up all the time and its getting so tough to remember which one does what. 🙂

Of the list below I have just used stumbleupon till now. Slide.com seems interesting and warrants further digging into for KV site. 🙂
