GigaOM Pro's NewNet Winners and Losers of 2009
Our subscription research service GigaOM Pro has just published its list of NewNet winners and losers for 2009. I contributed two selections to the list of winners: Twitter and Foursquare. Twitter has had an outstanding year, so including it in the list was a no-brainer. My other choice was a little trickier, but I went with Foursquare because it looks to be the first location-based social-networking app to succeed (where others have failed) and go mainstream.
Here’s the full rundown of winners and losers:
Winners
- Foursquare
- Government 2.0
- Employee productivity
Losers
- Consumer privacy
- eBay
- Journalism
- Yahoo
- Offerpal Media
For more detail and the reasons why each selection was made, check out the full post over on GigaOM Pro (subscription required).
