Webware 100 winners announced! | Webware - CNET
by Rafe Needleman

For those that are unfamiliar with the term or its application, CNET's neologism, "Webware" describes the newest, best and most useful websites, applications and online services that make navigating the web so gorsh-darned incredible for us ordinary joes. Without going into the specifics, it is a helpful, ongoing update provided by celebrated technological-authority CNET.com in this still somewhat new Web 2.0 sphere we've created around us; the blogroll is what I'd guess you could call it, catalogs all of what is perhaps the coolest and most popular services in our bookmarks, and on the horizon.

In addition, once a year for the past several years, they have polled their audience of citizens as to what makes their online surfing the best experience possible, proceed to collect the tidal responses into a neat little compendium of the markedly pragmatic & mostly popular "webwares" that you should be highly consider using.

(It is quite unfathomable the time I take to compile two short, descriptive paragraphs )


I've known about this compilation only since I stumbled upon it last year; it really aided in expanding my horizons to sites I had no inkling existed, and made a good impression on me as to why such sites are so wildly popular. Express your opinions about any familiar websites you see, those you may be interested in trying out for the first time because they are found in the Top 100, and some discrepancies within the list in why you never heard of "such-and-such" service.


So, without much more words (of my own, heh) or delay, here is the list of 2009's Webware 100!
(I truly implore you to visit the originating url address' link since the overall layout is more polished than I'll ever re-produce, but for those that like it all in-house, here is a simple text list of the winners.)


Whew! It's a wrap

Wait... I just found this:
