Startup Review is a great site on successful startups and their business models. They recently featured such startup “brand names” as craigslist, flickr and myspace.

Great case being the recent story on Myspace on Fortune. Remember, these guys exceeded Google in web traffic a year ago!

There are always the few that go counter to any economic cycles, interest rates, oil prices, housing busts and the like. The few that remember that they can actually run their own life and their own brains and stake out their own success.

Just good old fashioned vision, boundless enthusiasm, a healthy ignorance of naysayers and can-do execution.
