What's the best thing you can say about 2003? At least it wasn't 2002. Or 2001. Or 2000. Nevertheless, the year had its fair share of newsmakers -- some winners, some losers and some who were a blend of both. Here's a look at TechTarget Editors' collective list.

Need more reviews and prognistication? TechTarget Editor in chief Paul Gillin writes "There were no big bankruptcies, few bold business initiatives and little new technology to get excited about. But 2003 did give us a few reasons to cheer." Here they are.

But wait, there's more! My colleague over at SearchOracle.com Robyn Lorusso offers her predictions for the always unpredictable Oracle. Look for my own data management predictions this week.

Happy new year!
