Fortune Magazine in their May 1, 2006 issue lists 12 companies that "are making the Net hot again":

1. Yub - social networking meets discount shopping.
2. Craigslist - find your dream apartment, furniture, and the job to pay for it all.
3. Facebook - student socializing.
4. Gawker - snarky gossip and celebrity stalking.
5. Google Maps - directions made painfully easy.
6. MLB - follow your team with streaming audio, video.
7. YouTube - waste hours viewing random videoclips.
8. Wikipedia - you have questions, it has answers.
9. Myspace - hip online hangout.
10. Flickr - share photos with friends, family.
11. Pandora - customize and share your own radio station.
12. Neopets - virtual pets, real entertainment.

It's great to have been involved in 2 of the companies on that list.
