With tech at the center of the last economic downturn, we're all holding our col-lective breath waiting to see how this one will affect IT budgets and the flow of innovative technology from vendors. The Best of Interop awards are one bellwether of the latter. The 181 entries related to the annual business technology event came in just under last year's 194 but marked an increase over 141 entries in 2006. Contenders included a mix of startups and heavyweights. InformationWeek editors picked winners in three overall categories-Best of Interop, Best Startup, and Best Green Vendor-and in eight tech categories.
