Slicksta is not in beta

Business 2.0 has published an updated list of startups to watch in the coming year. The author predicts that there will be flame-outs with too many newbies chasing different ways to bring traditional media online.

The losers are likely to be those companies that try to make money by pouring old-media wine into the new Web bottles. The winners will be the players that invent new ways to tap into what the Web brings to the party: instant feedback, instant analysis, and the collective wisdom of a billion users.

ISHO it’s more about creating real businesses vs. cool products or features. Cool products and features get featured on Slicksta’s blog while businesses get written about in the NYT or WSJ.

StumbleUpon and Meebo are two of Slicksta’s favorites from the list.
