# How many of these Web 2.0 sites do you know?

This article in Wired, [The Best: Web 2.0 Acquisition Bait](http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.01/start.html?pg=11), lists the top 10 web 2.0 sites that might potentially be bought out by larger corporations.

A friend of mine showed me the article in Wired magazine, and I hadn't visited Wired's site for a while. Surprise -- it's totally a magazine blog, and they've organized it in a very readable way.

The top ten sites are as follows:

1. [Facebook](https://facebook.com/)
2. [Digg](http://digg.com/)
3. [Techmeme](http://techmeme.com/)
4. [Wikipedia](https://wikipedia.com/)
5. [Zillow](http://zillow.com/)
6. [Technorati](http://technorati.com/)
7. [Wordpress](https://wordpress.com/)
8. [FeedBurner](http://feedburner.com/)
9. [37 Signals](http://37signals.com/)
10. [Riya](http://riya.com/)

I've not heard much about Techmeme and Riya, so I'll have to check them out. But all the rest are pretty familiar. Digg is one of my default home pages, I am always turning to Wikipedia for explanations of things, my wife appraised her parents' house in Utah for about 2 million using Zillow, Technorati is the grand-daddy blog search engine, I listen to WordPress podcasts in addition to using their software, my blog feeds are all routed through Feedburner, and I have a few to-do lists on 37 Signals. But despite using their services, I haven't given any of these companies any money.

I am curious about the platform Wired is using to deliver it's content. It looks like a great way to set up a magazine.
