What is the new w2 companies are doing ?

I tried to look at different start-up companies ( based on the VCs web sites) and tried to find out what the companies are working on . The focus was on information –all that people are trying to do around information. Some of the key areas that I could find are:

- Application which integrates information elements ( PLAXO / Trumba )
- Applications which provides a specific information – Widgets (micro-presentation)
(widgetbox)
- Information about user behavior / intention / (BAYNOTE) - use it for better user experience / recommendations http://www.aggregateknowledge.com/news/pr/index.html / datamining in web / recommending //
- Information sharing
- Information creation by individuals – but in a team
- Networking at different possible levels
- Web adv ( adbrite.com)
- Mobile search
- Web policing – both end user and services provider
