This information is taken straight from the "Business 2.0" magazine, which is an awesome magazine, if I don't say so myself. With all the so-called "Entrepreneurial" magazines out there, filled with mostly advertisements and web nonsense written by non-professionals, Business 2.0 Magazine is a great haven for those who are internet savvy and want the latest, most exclusive, highly educated information regarding web 2.0 business and the internet.
Their recent issue, with an article: Top 25 Web 2.0 start ups most likely to strike gold in 2007
Each list is categorized by genre, and gives a lot of insight for aspiring internet moguls, and web 2.0 business endeavors.
