The museum of modern betas (MOMB ) is one really cool place to get a "heads up" on upcoming startups and beta tests. I gathered a short list of new startups that might just add some fun and/or utility to your day. We review so many sites that are fantastic innovations and some that have the ability to change the way we think about Web 2.0, but there are plenty that are just plain fun and that are not designed [...]

Back in October I did a review of the AdaptiveBlu's Smartlinks widgets here on Profy. Back then I found the service to have great potential and evidently I was correct. Alex Iskold and the team at Adaptive have expanded the capability and depth of the widgets, which are even now being applied at a rather viral rate by bloggers and site owners. While not a complex tool, Smartlinks is proving that not every great innovation has to be [...]

Comcast has now opened the doors on a beta version of Fancast, its entertainment portal that will aim to be ?the one place where you can find what to watch, where to watch, when to watch it — plus all the video, photos and facts you crave.?
Fancast is now open to the public and provides a comprehensive database of TV shows, movies, actors, directors, movie trailers and various other video clips. Think of it as web 2.0 meets IMDB meets [...]

We talked with Derek Peplau Senior Product Manager of WebEx on Thursday about their WebEx mail product launch.

Derek guided me through some of the features of their mail service and other aspects of WebOffice.

It is rather difficult, or perhaps [...]

You can also use the site as [...]

All you hotties out there get ready for the ultimate meat market for Web 2.0! Our editor shoveled me some info about a unique dating site that I just had to inform our readers about. HotEnough is a new dating site that is exclusively for the hot. If nothing else the site promises to either hurt some feelings or explode the heads of those allowed entry to the site.
As a registering user 3 photos must be submitted in order for the [...]

Pixilive.com is another simple way to upload images and video for hosting or sharing to your favorite spaces. This free service allows users to upload, copy and paste links or code literally in seconds. The most noticeable thing about Pixilive is the lack of any registration from. The simplicity and function of this little site are readily apparent and anyone can create a link or code as fast as they can choose their media.
I have run across several [...]

We got a nice note from Twango asking us to check out their latest tweaks and features. It has been some time since our last review, so we checked it out for you guys. Twango has become a very popular media sharing site that allows users to upload photos, video or other files and then the ability to quickly embed the media into blogs and other sites.
The latest upgrade to Twango has infinitely simplified the homepage and users can now [...]

Keeping track of all our investigations into Web 2.0 gets to be a little daunting, but here is part two of our little visitation on 2007's early startups.

Perhaps this update will illuminate a better ratio of success on the rocky road to success on Web 2.0!
The following Web 2.0 startups are not listed [...]
