Rev2.org, é um weblog, criado em 2005, dedicado a traçar perfis das novas enpresas e tecnologias ligadas à Web 2.0, apresentando uma análise das mesmas.
Quando foi criada, existia uma falta de cobertura de weblog à volta deste tópico, logo esta ideia foi uma novidade. Com esta ideia, surgiram quase imediatamente novas empresas, mostrando que isto poderia ser o futuro da Web, documentar as mudanças sofridas nesta área.
Rev2.org fizeram um ranking das 10 empresas que começaram com a Web 2.0 que foram mais bem sucedidos. É interessante ver como pequenas ideias transformaram o mundo de muitas pessoas.
