Who Will Get Blessing/Curse of "Best Company of the Year"?

Watchmojo wonders which lucky entrant will be chosen as the "Best Internet Company of the Year."  As with Time's "Person of the Year," earning this distinction isn't always a blessing: Some previous winners (Google, Cisco...) have gone on to greatness.  Others (Netscape, Altavista) have just gone to zero.

JJ: There are no strong candidates right now but I have my eye on Craigslist, Facebook, LinkedIn, and possibly Aquantive as 2007 breakout stars.  (I would have included AKAM if earnings were a blowout yesterday).

Previous Winners:

1994: AOL.com

1995: Netscape

1996: Altavista

1997: eBay

1998: Yahoo!

1999: Amazon.com

2000: Lycos

2001: Napster

2002: Google

2003: Cisco

2004: Skype

2005: MySpace

2006: YouTube
