2:00 PM -- Hey there.

Here at the luxurious Unstrung cubicle [ed. note: never mind the quality, feel the formica!], we've been making a list and checking it twice, but it would still be good to get your views on who has been naughty and who's been nice in 2007.

That's right, it is time for Unstrung's year-end Top Ten Startups list, and we'd like your suggestions on which companies should be on it. We already have a list in mind but thought it would be good to get reader feedback on which companies should stay, go, or be added to the list.

To be considered, the firms have to be young, three years old or less -- no double-digit startups please. And they have to have a fat VC roll, or innovative technology, or a proven revenue stream. Preferably some combination of all three.

We're casting our net wide this year in terms of the types of business considered. It could be anything from a hot new mobile video startup to an innovative carrier play; a new device vendor or a wireless payments company. Make your case and we'll consider it.

Please pitch your candidates on the message board below -- so that your fellow readers can cheer or jeer your choice -- or, if you're really a shrinking violet, you may write to me at [email protected].

Please get your entries in as soon as possible. We'll post the list as the bells toll for the Year of the Dragon.

Thanks!
