Web 2.0's Startup Fever
Software toolkits and cheap hardware have led to the comeback of the garage startup. But this time the boom is more rational.
By Wade Roush
If you're Web-literate, you can organize more and more of your life around Web-based tools and services given away by a host of young startups. You can keep your social calendar at Eventful or Upcoming, organize your to-do items at Gootodo, store a gigabyte's worth of documents at Box.net, read the news (or write your own) at Newsvine, find hours of video entertainment at YouTube or JumpCut, create and share Web bookmarks at Diigo, create podcasts and audio memos at Odeo, publish blogs at Wordpress or Xanga, and share your photos at Flickr or Buzznet -- or Riya or Bubbleshare or Zooomr. All for free. And that's just the beginning of the list.
