CNET has just released Webware top 100 awards.
More than 5,000 web applications were nominated by the webware.com community. The (loosely) categorized those into 10 groups:
Browsing: Fundamental Web access tools: Browsers, extensions, widgets, and security.
Communications: Person-to-person communications platforms: E-mail, chat, voice.
Community: Online gathering places and group-powered content.
Data: Tools for finding online info, and storing and sharing files.
Entertainment:Tools for taking time off: Games and contests.
Media: Places to consume and share videos, photos, and music.
Mobile: Products that make your mobile phone a Web 2.0 appliance.
Productivity and Commerce: Sites for getting things done and doing online business.
Publishing: Tools for producing your own site: Blogging and Web content services.
Reference: Fonts of knowledge--from history to movies to maps.
I am not sure if I totally agree with how they categorized those websites. But here you can, you can find the list of the winners here.
A lot of the web applications (a.k.a. web sites) I have never heard of. But I do use most of the number one web applications in each category, so it shows they are not the top ones for no reason. :-)
Most of those web applications are considered web 2.0 applications (which I hope are not the new dot-coms). However, with google-gear released and few other companies are moving the web 2.0 content off-line, I am hoping web 2.5 will give us some really really cool apps that we can really start to use online or otherwise.
