How about Ning? Might not be as far along as Digg or Photobucket, but in terms of generating buzz you've got to rank it pretty high.

Digg-be serious! Glam...flat traffic, narrow audience.

An alternative question would be 'What's The Hottest Company NOT In Silicon Valley'.

And in my view, factoring in innovation, potential, and the sheer joy I get from using it, that company is last.fm.

Meebo, which is innovating in an established space and building a new IM network and a massive audience.

Mitchel · 2 years ago

It's absolutely AdMob. Those guys seem to hit a new home run every week while building their company with professionalism and grace.

Art.com was a nice mention, too.

Thank god ... at first when I saw the title "Hotest Internet Company" in my RSS Feed I thought it was Valleywag.. and figured it was Nick Douglas posting about Justin.tv or Twitter again.. thank god it wasn't..

Alaska Miller · 2 years ago

Digg is as hot as two pandabear-looking humanoids dryhumping each other in an empty casino in Second Life while chatting on Meebo. Get real.

This question is being asked too soon. Try again in September, then we can definitely tell you. On a lark, I would say Twitter.

meebo, which I believe, will enter in webos space in the near future.

Pran Kurup · 2 years ago

I think its LinkedIn. It is relatively well-established, mature, supposedly profitable and useful to its users.

The hottest startup will be a software company, not a social crapper hole. No it will not be a web os company, it will probably be something that changes communication (email) and kills spam (email) and has social network features.

The new start up will come from green energy:
Nanosolar looks good.

I agree with JC; so many new social networking sites without any technology advantages or IP. All of them appears to be me too with a different market approach, niche or ways to attract user bases. I also agree with JC on the next trend will be associated with new start-ups in the arena of changing the communications landscape. Companies such as www.lignup.com and www.bluenote.com are making a difference enabling service providers and large enterprises to enable and offer integrated telecommunications; e.g. integrating your CRM with VoIP, Web Services Telecom and etc. Another area of interest is companies that are reviving collaboration. WebEx just got bought by Cisco and there are numerous companies that are starting such services or similar with a different audience/market twist. One company that I see making a splash in the near term is www.heycosmo.com, which offers free interactivity. Free web-conference, video collaboration with VoIP and etc. with bunch of features. Too many social networking sites and it is getting lame!

Dude, Miniclip.com is bigger than all those sites with 34 million unique users per month - source Comscore Media Metrix, Dec, 2006. Stop reading the (off the net) newspapers written by old age reporters and start reading the Internet reports to see what's hot on the Internet.

Mike · 2 years ago

I think Blue Lithium is the hottest company besides Facebook. They had revenues approaching $100 million in 2006 which should put their value near a billion dollars given their fast growth. They are in the Ad Banner business.
