Editor's Notes
Due to the small sample size, I’ve used the “tag-cloud” approach. So the responses with lots of agreement appear larger, darker, bolder and more centralised. Sample size 50: Planners from the Ogilvy/Bates Network Plus handpicked digital luminaries from my facebook friends The questions were: Just off the top of your head, for each of these categories, what single company was/is: 1) the biggest, baddest dot-com crash-n-burner 2) strongest dot-com survivor 3) coolest web 2.0 4) lamest web 2.0 5) most potential for web3.0 superhero status
