Top 100 Web Apps

You have a ton of stuff going on, how do you find time to stay up to date on every little program people keep mentioning on blogs and in conversations. Well the BHIC blog has linked to Webware's top 100 Web apps as a great place to learn about new online tools.

Webware created 10 categories:

Browsing
Communications
Community
Data
Entertainment
Media
Mobile
Productivity and Commerce
Publishing
Reference

Each category has ten winners. Within each of those categories are some programs I have either used or heard of before, but there are also a lot of programs I never knew existed. Really, who has heard of Dogster/Catster, the social networking site for pets? Maybe that is what my dog, Baxter, is doing all day when he is home alone. Here I thought he was just sleeping on my bed, who knew he could type?

For more information about the Webware 100 awards and on the results, check out Rafe's analysis of the results.

Of course this got me thinking. What are your top applications that you use in your library? What are your users top applications? Are they the same? Why or why not?
