I hope most of the software professionals around the globe who would want to build a
start-up and in a way become an entrepreneur in the process would know about
TechCrunch and the coverage they shower on these start-ups. It has become a cult these days in the blogosphere that TechCrunch can
make-or-break a start-up. Even though they don't promote any start-ups (some start-ups do sponsor TechCrunch website), it is true that their good review can elevate a new start-up to great heights. For once, a server going down because of heavy traffic is a titillating experience.
Every year they pick the best of the lot. The
50 finalists for this year are below.
Last year's winner was
Mint, a great cool website that allows you to manage your personal finances easily all-in-one-place.
Who will be this year? We will know in two more days.
Update: This year's TechCrunch50 winner is Yammer, a Twitter like messaging system aimed at internal corporate communications.
