I'm pretty sure this guy was just playing buzzword bingo. He used "nine" to create the top ten feel people so love (why he didn't go with ten I have no idea). Also mixed in "web 2.0" and the "down economy". He should have used recession instead of that last one, might have gotten some search engine love.

Because if you use 9, instead of 10, it makes it sound like your choices are so well researched and vetted that you'd never sacrifice your integrity just to make it a "top 10".
