The Annual Wired 40 List

The latest issue of Wired presents their list of the coolest, hippest companies. It's their annual Wired 40 List and this year interestingly enough, a handful of the big boys slid off the list, including Dell, Fedex, Nokia and Vodafone to name a few. (Vodafone was my very first account when I hung my hat at Saatchi & Saatchi in London moons and moons ago).

To land a spot on the list, a "business needs the X-factor -- a hunger for new ideas and an impatience to put them into practice." Such companies, Wired says, "become trendsetters."

This year's hit list in order includes:

Google
Apple
Samsung
Genentech (Will biotech kill the blockbuster?)
Yahoo
Amazon.com
Toyota
General Electric
News Corp. (Murdoch is up to tricks again)
SAP
Infosys Tech
Cisco
Electric Arts
NetFlix
Salesforce.com
Medtronic
Sunpower Corp.
IBM
eBay
InfoSpace
Nvidia
Verizon
Flextronics
Intel
Monsanto
EMC
Dupont
JetBlue
Lenovo (never heard of these guys...)
TSMC (semi-conductors)
BP
Li & Fung (Hong Kong-based clothing firm)
Exelon
Costco
Gen-Probe (DNA-based tests)
Microsoft
L-3 Communications
CitiGroup
Comcast (really?)
Pfizer (Pharma)
