Killer Startups

Killer Startups is a neat little site where you can register your startup company, and then have people vote on the value of that company, and make predictions on if you will crash and burn, get bought out, or just perk along surviving. The best part about it is that it makes another excellent research platform for your good Web 2.0 idea.

The Web 2.0 social networking space is crowded, and eventually the whole space is going to boil down to who does the best PR, Marketing, and Branding for their site. There are only so many places you have time to promote your blog, startup, or company.
