10e20 reviews a company called Killer Startups:

Who are these talented content foragers? Well, it could be you, me or your co-worker in the next desk. It is all member based submissions and reviews.

According to Killer Startups’ “about” page:

KillerStartups.com is a user driven internet startups community. Entrepreneurs, investors, and bloggers are staying informed on up-and-coming internet startups using our blog platform, where internet entrepreneurs submit their startup to see what others think about it.

Our vision:
“Tapping the wisdom of crowds to find the next internet big thing.”
We deeply believe in the power of crowds, and we want to put it to good use by detecting in an early stage what’s going to be big.

History and Development:
After acquisitions such as the ones of MySpace and YouTube, and success stories such as Kayak, PriceGrabber, Facebook and many others, everybody started looking for “the next big thing” on the internet.

A new wave began!

We believe “the next YouTube” is going to be somewhere here, on KillerStartups.com. That’s our goal. We aim to provide you with that info right at the birth of the startup, when it’s only a promise. It will be up to you to detect it and do something with that information. We believe our community will be able to spot “the next YouTube”, and in order to achieve this goal, we are providing what we believe to be the right tools for this kind of discovery.

It doesn’t take a lot to realize that in universities around the world, young entrepreneurs have started talking compulsively about creating “the next big thing”. In New York, San Francisco and the world over, investors are having lunches just talking about it.

Something is clear: entrepreneurs want to hit it big with “the next big thing” and investors want to finance it.

KillerStartups.com aims to help them both by reviewing up-and-coming internet startups right on the spot, right at their birth…(more)

We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)
