February 23rd, 2007

Joost, Fon and AdMob are definite favourites. Of particular interest for all mobile marketers are Loopt, Mobio, Soonr and AdMob.
The article features crisp summaries of all 25 web startups and is worth a quick read for everyone in the tech sector who needs to be kept up-to-date with new and upcoming technologies.
Some of the companies featured in this article already have established user bases and are established as groundbreakers in their vertical. Othrs are still in Beta but show tremendous promise (and venture backing!)
One company that might join the ranks of startups to watch in the near future is Spotzer. Their shrink-wrapped video advertising product might have been ahead of its time when it was launched, but now that most advertisers are looking towards mobile and video as the next big platforms for marketing, their product might well be just what the market needs.

[…] Interestingly, Loopt and Mobio are the only company from this list that also featured on the CNN Money list of 25 Web 2.0 companies to watch.
