Business to business (B2B) companies

OK, I came late to the party (school loans to pay off first), and seem to have missed the portal frenzy. I think the B2B sphere is indeed the next "sexy" arena, even more so than broadband or wireless.

Can we get a list of stalwarts/new players in this arena, and IPOs to come? I think there would be much to be gained by discussing this.

Already public companies (in no particular order):

VERT
CPTH
DRIV

Not yet public:

Datachannel: ecommerce XML software
Employease: Internet-based HR outsourcing
Idiom technologies: Worldserver for global e-commerce

For a more complete list, see

VERT had an especially nice move today. AMZN seems to have lots of inertia at this point, and earnings (which I believe will be the catalyst for significant price increase) will not be until 7/29.

I am contemplating rolling out of AMZN into VERT, which looks very strong. Comments?

Michelle, I would be very interested in your take on Datachannel and Employease
