Technology editor, BBC News website
When Jeremy Stoppelman was 14 years old he had a subscription to Forbes magazine and dabbled in the stock market.
His ambition was to one day run his own company and be featured in his magazine of choice. Fifteen years later and both goals have been accomplished.
Mr Stoppelman is the co-founder and chief executive of Yelp.com, easily the internet’s most sophisticated solution to finding local information and reliable reviews of services.
“I was a computer nerd but also investing in stocks in high school,” he says.

Web 2.0 wonders: Meebo

Technology editor, BBC News website
The “it” in question is Meebo, a web-based instant messaging (IM) system which lets users send and receive messages from a number of different IM services, such as AOL, MSN, Yahoo and Jabber.
It is an elegant solution to the problem of having multiple accounts - many of which are not interoperable - and requiring different software downloads.

But Camp is still only 28-years-old, and could easily pass as a fresh-faced young engineer at Yahoo or Google.
He runs a team of developers and engineers and oversees one of the most popular social networking tools on the web.
The idea behind StumbleUpon is simple.
“Click a button, find something cool was the very basic premise,” he says.

Web 2.0 wonders: Zooomr’s Kris Tate

Technology editor, BBC News website
Or do you move away from your family, 800 miles south to San Francisco and single-handedly build a photo-sharing website that will eventually have 100,000 users around the world?
Kris Tate, a softly-spoken and impossibly polite teenager, did the latter.
Now 18 years old, Tate is the coding expert responsible for Zooomr, one of the most popular photo websites on the net.

What is this thing called Web 2.0?
09/04/2007 by admin.
Technology Correspondent, BBC News website
Back then crazy prices were paid for small companies and extravagant claims were made for the way they were about to re-write the rules of so many markets.
In 2006 and 2007 similar amounts of hyperbole and cash are being lavished on innovative net start-ups playing around with Web 2.0 technology, the name given to the second coming of the web.
But has anything changed or are we about to see another crash?
“No,” said Klaus Hommels, a venture partner at Benchmark Capital and one of the first investors in Skype. “Now is completely different to 2000.”

‘Cheating’ the search engines
09/04/2007 by admin.
BBC Click
Woe betide a search engine that requires me to click to page two of the results before I find the site I am looking for.
Generally they do a decent job but, up until very recently, if you were to search on the term “miserable failure”, top of the Google search results was the official George Bush page on the official White House site.
