* 37signals - Any major ASP may be interested in this web-based app producer (Basecamp, Backpack, Writeboard, etc..), although the company has repeatedly expressed its reluctance to sell.
* Cafepress - This on-demand, customized product creation company would be a great additional for any large e-commerce site (Amazon?).
* Compete - Criticism surrounding Alexa rankings has paved the way for this new entrant; any company looking to venture into the statistic/analytic space may be interested.
* Kayak - A simple, travel search engine that could be a great addition to any portal or outdated travel offering.
* LinkedIn - This social network vertical is prized for its highly sought-after business professionals and high net-worth individuals.
