list of web 2.0 companies

OK. So maybe this entry is going to be a bit long, but it should be pretty useful for the folks just getting started with Web 2.0. Here is a somewhat exhaustive list of the major players in the Web 2.0 space and other companies just doing "Web 2.0 stuff." Hopefully, it will give people an idea of the depth and breadth of this movement.

By all rights, I should be putting this into a dynamic form of some sort, but I'll work on that for the next post.

Feel free to use the more recently updated (6/20/2007) list here:
Web 2.0 Company Reference

And for some reason, the table formatting in Blogger is all screwed up. So bear with me, but the list is about 3000 pixels down this page. Argh!!















It's down here..
