They define Web 2.0 as the thousands of start-ups using new tools to quickly and cheaply create sites and services that would have taken years - and millions - to build in the 90's.
YouTube, Flickr and MySpace have been aquired by big name companies for lots of dollarinos - who might be next?
Maybe one of these -
Farecast - Airfare Predictions, Find Cheap Airline Tickets
Kayak - Cheap Airfare, Hotel Reservations, Car Rentals
Zillow - Provides Real Estate Values
Yelp - Restaurant Reviews, Doctors, Bars, Salons, Dentists and More
30 Boxes - Calendar for young people who use Facebook, MySpace and Flickr
Pinger - Instant voice message - no ring just ping.
Doostang - Career oriented online community - connecting people - by invitation only.
37signals - Simple software to help you get organized (I use their Ta-da list and like it).
Pandora - Internet Radio - Find New Music, Listen to Free Web Radio - Create an Instant Station that Suits Your Taste
BRINGO - Stop Talking to Customer Support Machines, Pushing Buttons and Talk to a Real Human
Note: some claim swearing at the automated attendent works too, since the voice recognition s/w is programmed to recognize cursing as a sign they have a frustrated customer and it's time to actually try and help them.
Blurb - Create a Bookstore Quality Book from a Blog for $30
More on Blurb from Eoin Purcell’s Blog, the New York Times and Wired News.
