« Do startups still fear Microsoft? | Main | Real estate on KUOW »
TechCrunch publisher Michael Arrington shares his winners and losers of Web 2.0 at the Future of Web Apps conference in San Francisco, noting that Seattle startups Jobster and Zillow.com are "ones to watch," according to this post from Dan Farber at ZDnet.
That's not surprising, given that they are two of the most heavily funded Web 2.0 startups in existence today.
Arrington also apparently told the crowd that if he could be CEO of any Web 2.0 startup it would be Digg, which along with Facebook, YouTube, Photobucket, Zoho and others made his list of good bets.

Forget the ad space altogether. It's time that Microsoft to show the long term vision that created their success in the first place. Clearly there are far more valuable, provocative and lucrative problems for technology to solve than consumer spending and entertainment. It's time for the Blue Monster to think bigger thoughts."
