10 Most Successful Web 2.0 Startups To Date
- danw 19y agoNo skype on that list?
- timg 19y agoYes, skype seemed very big when I was in europe. Not so much here in the US, but still huge. Then again, it's not quite web2.0
- danw 19y agoNot sure if they're strictly '2.0' but nobody can define that well anyway. They did get aquired for $2.5 billion upfront + $1.4 billion performance based. If that doesnt count as being in the top 10 most successful then I dont know what is!
- sidyadav 19y agoHi there, This is Sid Yadav, the guy who made the list. I did consider Skype but ruled it out since it's more of an desktop app than a web app unlike the rest (doesn't have much of a web-based side to it). If I were to put Skype in there, then I guess I'd have to consider every single desktop app created since 2003! Thanks
- danw 19y agoPerfectly understandable reasoning, writing top n lists is always tricky thanks to borderline cases. No last.fm either? :p
- fauigerzigerk 19y agoIn a way that list is depressing, or maybe it's just boring to a degree that is indistinguishable from depression.
