C/Net's Webware site has released the list of Webware 100 for 2008. The list contains web 2.0 apps selected by readers as the top 100 Web 2.0 applications in the following categories:
- Audio: Music, podcasts, audiobooks.
- Browsing: Browsers, start pages, RSS readers, widgets, runtime engines.
- Commerce and events: Retail, auctions, travel, real estate, concerts, conferences.
- Communications: E-mail, chat, voice.
- Productivity: App suites, to-do lists, groupware.
- Publishing and photography: Blogging, content management, photo sites.
- Search and Reference: Search engines, encyclopedias, mapping.
- Social: Social networking, family sites, recommendations, online worlds, contests.
- Utility and Security: Infrastructure providers, storage, online protection.
- Video: Video storage, playback, streaming, editing, and animation.
I note that the top browser is Maxthon - which has already been my choice. It functions as a front end to IE so provides new features for the user while maintaining complete IE compatibility for sites which require it - such as many of our MLS sites around the country.
The gateway article which will provide access to the listings can be found here: http://www.webware.com/8300-1_109-2-0.html?keyword=Webware+100+2008
