The EContent judging panel of editorial staff and industry experts utilized a Social text wiki to manage the company selection process. The 12 judges carefully reconsidered last year's list members and kept only those companies that continued to lead the industry. For some it meant market share, but for most it meant thought- and technology-leadership, innovation, and even experimentation. The judges each threw new nominations into the fray and the group "eagerly pounced on this year's crop of contenders and only the strongest survived."
