Business 2.0 just published its new Next Net 25 list.
There’s so much happening that the buzzword recently employed to try to encapsulate the era — “Web 2.0″ — now seems hopelessly inadequate, defined and redefined into near meaninglessness by squadrons of aspiring entrepreneurs, marketers, and other fortune hunters.
So it seems a particularly useful moment to wave away the smoke and home in on what’s really core. Don’t be distracted by the Valley’s hype-o-meter pushing toward the red: There’s something very real — and very powerful — afoot.
The ones that I am most familiar with and enjoy would be last.fm, YouTube, Bloglines and SalesForce.
Too bad the B2.0 site doesn’t work very well with 404 errors all over the place. Saw this news from Om, one of the writers for the list.
