one could say you could make a top 10 list for just about anything. well - Joost.com inspired me to put this page together...
DISCLAIMER: if you decide to invest in companies based on my list, your choice is your own! ;-)
- Earth Class Mail - mentioned by a friend and just saw a free episode of startup junkies and whoa - what I see is the launch of services to skip the need for paper!
- Landmark Education - leaders in transformational education
- Facebook - the social networking platform
- Apple Computer - future of computing; knack for hardware/software/device engineering (MacOSX)
- iPhone - the dance warrior will live on...
- Intel - knack for integrating the personal computer revolution from the inside out!
- Mac OS X support for the Intel platform was brilliant magic!
- Google - don't think I need to say to much here - acquisition of Writely.com did it for me.
- Joost.com - based on Skype technology (or common founders) - programming that appears to have high quality on a platform that appears to be pretty solid.
- I am particularly interested in solutions to empower and train individuals to produce/broadcast their own channels (and avoid the quality issue of YouTube)
- Linden Lab - owns the space of virtual computing - bound to keep evolving!
- Gizmo Project - future of VoIP - fair competitor and underdog to Skype
- web-based VoIP on iPhone will be the winner...
- <booby prize>
if you have any innovative companies to share with me... let me know - I'm all ears!
