Start-up Companies Sprouting

It's finally summer in Seattle and that means all the little start-up companies that sprouted in the spring are growing full-bloom and are spreading across the land. I believe there are more new web ventures now than there were back in the late 90s. There is definitely a leaning toward social networking and video entertainment, but this new crop of companies come in all colors and varieties.

John Cook put together a list of over 60 Seattle "Web 2.0" Internet companies. Geeking with Greg organized the list and stacked them by Alexa traffic rankings.

Seattle-area company-watchers have always been able to turn to Seattle 24x7 for a good overview of Internet and new media companies.

The phenomenon is happening across the country, with more new Internet companies cropping up than ever before. Baris Karadogan posted a great list of companies from all over the place.
