While doing some Enterprise 2.0 vendor research, we discovered some interesting trends from the E2.0 space. Using Google’s Double-Click Ad Planner, we were able to establish a general picture of the companies’ overall traffic.
It’s still very early in the Enterprise 2.0 race, but Yammer appears to be the best horse on a muddy track. But in terms of visitor time on site, Google believes Spigit currently has the advantage.
Why are some Enterprise 2.0 vendors off the list?
We left some of the Enterprise 2.0 vendors off the list either because the traffic wasn’t high enough to register with Google or there wasn’t a way to discern traffic for an individual product (e.g. SharePoint URL is a sub-domain of Microsoft as Beehive is a sub-domain of Oracle).

CXO Summary – Place your bets
(Cross-posted @ Seek Omega )
This is a very short list. There are probably around 70 or 80 companies that would be worth tracking in the E20 space.
Thanks David, can you please add to the list in the comments here? Some of the E2.0 companies were not mentioned due to low traffic or because it was impossible to discern subdomain traffic.
Decent list to start, Mark. Thanks for sharing. May I add INgage Networks (formerly Neighborhood America) to the list? Established in 1999, we’re one of the oldest Enterprise 2.0 vendors that is also considered a thought-leader in the Gov 2.0 space as well. Feel free to point your readers to our online library of ROI case studies and white papers (http://www.ingagenetworks.com/resources)and what analysts say about our service and proven platform: http://www.ingagenetworks.com/analysts.
Thanks Wiley. I’ll publish a larger list in the next month or so. Currently I am buried by a new product launch.
Mark, I am the VP Marketing for GroveSite, one of the ‘vendors to watch’ in your list. I know what you mean about being buried in a product launch. We have a new relational database product to be announced soon – , an easier more affordable alternative to Quickbase. In addition, users will be able to add other capabilities from the GroveSite collaborative toolkit: file sharing, project management, issue tracking, wiki web pages and so forth. Our market includes some of the big-name retailers/manufacturers of consumer products who use GroveSite to collaborate with overseas vendors and manufacturing locations. They especially will have immediate need for a customizable relational database to track merchandise samples and so forth. Thanks for including http://www.grovesite.com in your list.
