2008 has been both an exciting year and a very trying year for the world of Web innovation.When the year kicked off, we were still in the middle of Web 2.0 fever. We were just two months removed from Microsoft having invested $240 million in Facebook at a stratospheric $15 billion. In the first week of January, Yahoo! CEO J (Read More)

: Wow! We're honored and flattered :-)Here's a summary of the top 4. @louisgray writes: 1) Summize (Twitter Search) Search is still king, and real-time search is having a huge impact on the way people find news, share ideas, and see trends. Summize built its business around being a search engine for Twitter, and soon became more stable, and theoretically, more useful, than Twitter itself. The Twitter team, in desperate need for more engineering help, acquired the company and absorbed into the microblogging service. Expected Exit: Acquired - Already Complete Twitter's acquisition of Summize was a smart move, considering how real-time search is becoming critical in times of breaking news. Many, including myself, are turning to Twitter search instead of Google, Yahoo! and the traditional news wires to hear reports from people on the ground, unfiltered. 2) Socialmedian While many different sites have conquered the online activities aggregation space, Socialmedian went about the process in a different way than all the others, letting people not only follow friends and pipe in their shared content from a wide variety of 3rd party sites, but organized it in terms of categories. The category feature was so successful, CEO Jason Goldberg has been able to showcase specific events, including the 2008 election, and the financial crisis, and make Socialmedian a go to site to interact with "newsmakers". The site, starting from scratch in the Spring, has risen up to challenge FriendFeed, Digg and other sites for social news - and continues to grow at a rapid clip. Expected Exit: Acquisition by First Quarter of 2009 With Goldberg and team having raised so little capital to get the product off the ground, and having kept costs very low, with the development team in India, the bootstrapped Socialmedian looks to be a ripe target for an acquisition, in my opinion. Without strong revenues and the public markets the way they are, Socialmedian would be smart to find a strong content or media partner, to join forces and enable the service to continue its growth. 3) BackType Technorati and Google Blog Search, as well as many other directories and search engines have typically focused on the blog as the central nervous system for their offering. But as many would agree, it is the comments and conversation, no matter where they are, that have real meaning to blog authors and participants. While everyone was busy trying to see who could land on the Techmeme leaderboard or break new ceilings in Technorati Authority, BackType debuted a site that tracks comments by individual, lets you follow individual commenters across a wide variety of sites, be alerted when comments with keywords take place, and see charts that display keywords' momentum. Expected Exit: Acquisition in Second Half of 2009 The BackType founders are working together on their second startup, having abandoned the first when it didn't gain traction. While BackType doesn't yet have an amazing market presence, they have forged a unique foothold that so far looks unchallenged. With any luck, I would expect the BackType team to deliver more enterprise-capable brand and identity management tools that would enable the service to gain revenue and exposure, letting the service to remain independent through the majority of 2009 before finding a place within WordPress, Six Apart, Google or Twitter. 4) TweetDeck TweetDeck isn't a Web service, but this Adobe AIR application introduced new functions to Twitter usage that changed the game in terms of how people use the service. By introducing a multi-columned app that features groups, integrated search, direct messaging, and replies functionality, many are swearing by TweetDeck, and it looks like it may soon overtake Twhirl as the most popular Twitter application. Busy Twitter addicts including Guy Kawasaki swear by it. Expected Exit: Remaining Independent through end of 2009 Iain Dodsworth is continuing to upgrade the product, and it's widely rumored he may soon integrate multi-account support, as well as integration with additional services, outside of Twitter. If he can get enough people to donate or pay for the application, there's no question he could make a full-time living from the resulting revenue. The question is, will people who expect a free service to have 100% uptime spring for the app that gets them there?

: Great Ideas, All of them. I'm still going to send a couple suggestion in an Email, only because they need a bit more thought, and will come with possible solutions. I would have already sent it, but, I was in meetings this afternoon and still have some catching up to do . Besides, I've got stories to clip. One little thing I can mention. I'm starting to feel like an orphanage for abandoned networks. I try to throw some stories in them whenever I find something relevant, but I feel like some of their owners might not be coming back. Have you had time to think about abandoned accounts. A couple I wouldn't mind taking over. I know this is low priority, and I would be disappointed to see you waste time on this right now. I read your blog and I had a feeling you might be working with a small team,but that would be an understatement. I'm am truly impressed at how much you've accomplished. Just like with Twitter, less is more. I don't remember your assistants name, but I'm sure he deserves credit also.

: A friend of mine had idea to day for a "Train Me" LBS app for iphone. Idea is person could click a button to find personal trainers available that day near them, read reviews, etc. What do you think?
Aug 03, 2008
: I think urbanspoon is on to something with their LBS iphone app. Being able to find out what the community recommends as the best restaurants near to where you are right now is awesome.

: Just started on Brightkite - there's no question of it's value.
