Webware 100 Awards 2008: Thank you for voting!

Originally uploaded by bigmick

Webware 100 is on again and I took some time to vote.

Here is who I voted for and why…

Last.FM - works nicely in the background and makes my blog look cooler (except that I listen to a lot of classical music…)

Pandora - cool product that went global and they gave me a cool hat once that I still wear.

Amazon - just plain solid. And they just resent something that didn’t arrive.

PayPal - works, and I need it.

Upcoming - cool, nicely social and free.

Tangler - coz I love it and it needs all the love it can get. And I work there.

Peepel - Go the Aussies!

Remember the Milk - More great Aussies, and great app.

Wesabe - saw it at TC40 and liked the people and the app.

Flickr - I’m a Flickr fanboy from way back when.

Twitter - grown on me (like a virus…)

Wordpress - recent convert from Typepad and it kicks the Schmicks.

Google - solid!

Google Maps - live improving in odd little good ways.

Medgle - coz Ash is da’ MaN.

Scrabulous - because I play with wife and dad and because it’s not the big brand and it’s fun.

Box.Net - Like what they are doing and where they are going.

Open.ID - “Your time has come”

Justin.TV - He remembered my name and bought me a beer.

Qik - Lachlan Hardy made me love it.

Ustream - works in sweetly with Tangler.

Noticeable omissions:

World of Warcraft - Don’t tell me it’s not social!

Data Portability - It’s fresh but it’s big! Next year?

Go vote!
