2008 Crunchies 수상 결과

IT 신생 벤쳐 기업 및 혁신적인 기술을 선보인 회사에 상을 주는 The Crunchies가 올해 두번째 시상식을 가졌습니다.

TechCrunch와 GigaOm, VentureBeat, Silicon Alley Insider등이 공동 주최하는 2008 The Crunchies 시상식은  작년에 1회 시상이 있었고 이번이 2번째라고 하는군요. 올해 대상(Winner)은 2년 연속 FaceBook이 차지했고 Twitter가 2등(runner-up) 수상을 했습니다. 요즘 한창 주가를 올리는 회사들이지요. cnet은 MS가 최고 기술 혁신상(Best Technology Innovation/Achievement)을 수상한것이 가장 놀라운 수상 결과였다고 했습니다.

각 부문 수상 결과는 아래와 같습니다. 이 리스트에 나온 회사들을 찾아보면 미국의 웹 2.0 기술이 어떻게 흘러가는지 알수 있을것 같습니다. 우리나라에 적용할수 있는 기술도 있겠지만 우리 실정에 맞지 않는 기술들도 있습니다. 세계적인 흐름이 어떤지를 알아두는 것도 나쁘지는 않을것 같습니다.
