A few years ago, we published a list of companies who ruled the Internet each year, from 1994-2007. Then, we forgot to update it for 2008-2010. On this week’s HipMojo show, we run down the list and picked a company for 2008, 2009, and 2010… and then open it up for you to suggest companies for 2011. Vote for the company of the Year below in the Comments, feel free to vote for the company you work for, but explain WHY, what was the one thing or many things that made the company stand out from the noise? continue reading...

Just a week after NBC lays off some employees at iVillage, competitor Glam Media announces a massive - and I mean massive - $84.6M funding round, of which $20M is debt financing.

Over the past 2 weeks, women-oriented network Glam.com has recruited senior executives from successful media companies Conde Nast and Fox Interactive Media, this on the heels of hires from new media outfits Doubleclick and MySpace.
