How about adding Tripmates to best web 2.0 travel sites- I'm a big fan of their travel social network!
Posted by: Liz | October 27, 2006 at 01:21 PM
Have you forget about http://www.eioba.com/en ?
Posted by: Kilk | October 27, 2006 at 02:11 PM
Travel: Add Mobissimo.com
It is the largest travel search engine with cool search aps like Activity search, OneBox search, etc.
Posted by: beatrice | October 27, 2006 at 07:14 PM
Thank you for including my site but it is wrongly listed in Todo lists, it should probably be part of the Social Communities section.

I recently found a very interesting website:
http://alreadylinked.com/
There you can purchase ad space for your Blog etc.

Great list! Another good image sharing and storage site is Fotki - http://www.fotki.com/.
Posted by: Ellen | October 28, 2006 at 08:05 AM
Also, forgot to mention Pandora Internet Radio - http://www.pandora.com/. It's a great service.
Posted by: Ellen | October 28, 2006 at 08:29 AM
HELL! where is http://popurls.com?
Posted by: Rob | October 28, 2006 at 01:15 PM
You should add a category for Poll sites and then list http://www.PollPub.com. PollPub Free Polls let you use youtube, photo, or text content in your free polls. And the polls are ajax. Nice list!
Posted by: Chris Jackson | October 28, 2006 at 05:25 PM
for the World Improvement category you should add http://www.bmindful.com !
Posted by: Lee | October 28, 2006 at 05:48 PM
Clap, clap, clap ;)
Posted by: Ivan | October 28, 2006 at 09:42 PM
Wow, this is quite a "best of" list, really cuts through all the web 2.0 clutter out there.
Only one comment, sadly I didn't see a porn or adult content category.
Surely the adult entertainment industry has a role in the usergenerated, collaboratively filtered, hyper interactive world of web 2.0? No?
Posted by: Alex Bernstein | October 28, 2006 at 10:45 PM
Great list! I've noticed that some of the Web 2.0 sites are starting to use Flash (see http://www.hotsolder.com/2006/10/web-20-flash-sites.html). I wonder if that will be a trend? I personally don't care for flash but these sites do show off some functions that would be a bear to do without it (or something similar like Java).
Posted by: Al | October 28, 2006 at 10:45 PM
For notes, Notecentric is a pretty slick looking site.
http://www.notecentric.com
I'm glad to see consumating get some respect. I haven't gone there in months though...
Posted by: Hung | October 29, 2006 at 12:49 AM
xmlhttprequest.com is a good place for ajax related news.

Great work with the list...found a few interesting site already, and I'm just at the beggining.
Just one more thing....The Measuremap link redirects to GMail!
Posted by: Sanat | October 29, 2006 at 01:29 AM
Very cool list!
www.picturepush.com is a very nice image storing site and you should take a look at www.flexlists.com also.

What about http://www.shortText.com/ ?
Awesome site to post quick information and distribute...

One of the better web2 sites in a category you didn't mention (Education) is http://www.mynoteit.com
Posted by: alex | October 29, 2006 at 11:23 AM
Thanks for all the feedback! I am busy trying out your suggestions and will post the ones that I find easy to use and fit the web 2.0! Thanks!

Check out Medstory (www.medstory.com). It is a new search engine for health which gives a dashboard of relevant health information for every search.
Posted by: healthy | October 29, 2006 at 12:52 PM
You should add http://lovetastic.com to the list of dating sites.
Posted by: Alan | October 29, 2006 at 01:44 PM
I would love to see http://dropster.org under "Image Storing and Sharing".
Posted by: Olav Schettler | October 29, 2006 at 04:38 PM
Gotta love www.instantbull.com for stock message boards / research
Posted by: Ajax Lover | October 29, 2006 at 08:09 PM
SeekSift (http://www.seeksift.com/) is a good service for tracking syndicated data of all kinds (blogs, news, air travel deals, etc.).
Posted by: H | October 30, 2006 at 07:48 AM
You might want to consider adding Value Investing News at http://www.valueinvestingnews.com to the Financials category. Value Investing News is a social bookmarking site for value investing oriented investors. The site just launched a few weeks ago.
Posted by: George | October 30, 2006 at 08:00 AM
You may wish to look into http://Listigator.com a new application that nicely combines general purpose online lists, with neat collaboration features.
Posted by: Uri | October 30, 2006 at 09:03 AM
Here another great Image Storing and Sharing site: http://www.yourep.com
This one is with revenue sharing and alot off other great features ;)
Posted by: Janick | October 30, 2006 at 11:39 AM
For the shopping category you gotta have http://shopify.com. It got an honourable mention in the Web 2.0 Awards before it was even released!
Posted by: phee | October 30, 2006 at 12:00 PM
You should have included a recipe category, I'd like to nominate my site :) http://www.yournextdrink.com
Posted by: Brannigan | October 30, 2006 at 12:02 PM
Great list! Some of my favorites are on there.
One site that I think should be added is http://www.myTriggers.com
It's a new persistent shopping search engine that searches for your products non-stop and sends you alerts when it finds them at your price. I've found the best deals through this site!
Posted by: Sonia | October 30, 2006 at 12:04 PM
Bu.llet.in is a content sharing application which organizes information and people under organization, city and country, collectively called as GEO. Now you can share information and connect with your people so easily.

MailBigFile is a nice way of transferring files too large for e-mail:

Posted by: Glen | October 30, 2006 at 12:26 PM
What about http://www.youpickthenews.com
Posted by: Mike | October 30, 2006 at 12:28 PM
Another good section to add would be webmaster tools with links to sites such as WebShotsPro which allows webmasters to add a website thumbnails to their page: http://www.webshotspro.com
Posted by: WebShotsPro | October 30, 2006 at 12:36 PM
Nice collection. If you need a full directory of the web2.0 sites try http://semantic.digg.in
Posted by: wanagi | October 30, 2006 at 12:44 PM
Thanks for the links
Posted by: John C | October 30, 2006 at 01:05 PM
There's a ton out there. There's also far better (it depends how you look into it). For instance, site's like Flingr are far superior to MySpace.
Posted by: Flingr | October 30, 2006 at 01:08 PM
Why is Myspace on there again? That site is the biggest half-assed approach to social networking, on the entire internet.
Posted by: overcast | October 30, 2006 at 01:09 PM
Try http://www.structuredfutures.com -- a better way to manage your portfolios
Posted by: Lou | October 30, 2006 at 01:25 PM
A good shot at a comprehensive list. Certainly could be expanded and updated, but a good start at an extensive compilation!
Posted by: Gunnison | October 30, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Another to add would be nifty website www.billmonk.com [BillMonk]. It about 'social money management'. Certainly one of the most useful website that me and my friends have discovered recently. We use it heavily to settle the shared bills and keep track of loans.
Posted by: Shree | October 30, 2006 at 02:11 PM
Check http://www.offtype.net
It allows to draw online and save the resulting image on the web.
Posted by: alex | October 30, 2006 at 02:20 PM
www.oodle.com
Posted by: what about | October 30, 2006 at 02:46 PM
BlueTie is barely mentioned in here but I think they could be one of the biggest threats to Google, M$ or Yahoo! The are offering a free AJAX email and calendaring suite for free and supports 20 users per workgroup...
Check out this Digg posting: http://digg.com/tech_news/BlueTie_Launches_Free_Ajax_Email_Suite
Posted by: Jim | October 30, 2006 at 02:57 PM
You forgot our dating 2.0 site:
http://www.collaboradate.com
Posted by: Andy Arnott | October 30, 2006 at 02:58 PM
Wize, the company I work for, should be included under the Web 2.0 shopping category. Wize collects user and expert reviews, aggregates them, and then based on how positive or negative the reviews were, produces an objective product ranking -Wize Rank. Wize quickly connects users with the best products and saves people time in online research.
Posted by: lucas | October 30, 2006 at 03:05 PM
An open directory of restaurant info and reviews.
Yumtum http://yumtum.com
Posted by: mreeve | October 30, 2006 at 03:32 PM
Reddiggulo.us has my vote. Replaced about:blank :)
Posted by: JohnnyB | October 30, 2006 at 04:56 PM
I also like Meebo (www.meebome.com) and Interaction (www.interactionchat.com) for instant messaging.
Posted by: Steve Harnold | October 30, 2006 at 04:58 PM
Hey for file storage http://www.wikiupload.com/ is another great service.
Posted by: Jay | October 30, 2006 at 05:00 PM
I like www.momondo.com as a travel mashup - searches cheap flights from more than 200 sites. Beats the rest for inter-european flights
Posted by: thorvald | October 30, 2006 at 05:24 PM
Another one for Real Estate, is an Australian site : http://www.suburbview.com
It is an Australian Real Estate Search engine, where found results are displayed in Google Earth and on the Google Map.
Posted by: Mark | October 30, 2006 at 05:55 PM
http://www.karslist.com/ should be somewhere there... I guess needs a new category.
Posted by: Sri | October 30, 2006 at 06:18 PM
Don't forgot the health and fitness category:
http://www.gimme20.com
Posted by: Jordan Willms | October 30, 2006 at 07:20 PM
Another one to add for word processing is InetWord, lots of built in extras that aren't available on Google's doc/spreadsheets. www.inetword.com/
Posted by: Jhonka J. | October 30, 2006 at 09:00 PM
Also, the link for Billmonk doesn't have the .com on the end.
This is a great list though. Thanks!
Posted by: Jhonka J. | October 30, 2006 at 09:03 PM
Any site that doesn't mention Streampad: http://www.streampad.com as best of the best for web2.0 doesn't know what it is talking about. I spend hours on this site every day and it is by far the best developed site in the 2.0 world.
Posted by: Greg | October 30, 2006 at 09:18 PM
Please consider Healia ( http://www.healia.com ), a health search engine that uses semantic technology and algorithms to provide high quality and personalized search results.
Posted by: Graham | October 31, 2006 at 12:02 AM
Excellent list! I agree with many of them as well, its great to see such innovation and creativity in technology. Its great that we made the list too, thanks. We're working very hard on sugarstats.com to be the best it can.
Posted by: SugarStats.com | October 31, 2006 at 12:49 AM
Nice list! I'm a big fan of http://www.videojug.com for how-to videos... not exactly 'video hosting', maybe 'world improvement'
Posted by: Josh | October 31, 2006 at 02:32 AM
Hi, thanks for including our free wiki solutions. Could you please correct the typo in the link? it is not "http://www.wikidot." but http://www.wikidot.com

Posted by: Michal Frackowiak | October 31, 2006 at 03:03 AM
I don't know if they constitute as web2.0 but I have been using: http:/www.whatsonmybookshelf.com to connect with people to trade books.
I'd like to see more sites situated around intellectual interests.
Posted by: JamesGrey | October 31, 2006 at 07:09 AM
whoops typepad seems to be messing up:

why isn't last.fm filed under music but under People News Production?
Posted by: max | October 31, 2006 at 07:36 AM
check out www.koolim.com
it is similiar to what meebo does.
-Samer
Posted by: Samer Bazzi | October 31, 2006 at 10:55 AM
What about www.farecast.com ? It helps people decide when to buy a air ticket and shows nice history graphs and stuff. Its worth a mention I feel. It will tell the user like 'You should wait! We can say this with 80% confidence' etc. Pretty cool and useful, especially if you are traveling around a holiday time -- a day here and there can save $$$!
Posted by: Shree | October 31, 2006 at 11:35 AM
Great List. You're missing Spiceworks, a web 2.0 IT management tool.
Posted by: Rajesh Nishar | October 31, 2006 at 02:03 PM
Great list!
Posted by: seo | October 31, 2006 at 03:39 PM
Nice list, but you guys really need to check out that thing called Spell Check.
Posted by: Christopher | October 31, 2006 at 10:12 PM
You are missing a new Social Community for relationship advice - YouMe.Us (www.youme.us)
Posted by: Joe | November 01, 2006 at 07:42 AM
Probably easier if I add the link - http://www.youme.us
Posted by: Joe | November 01, 2006 at 07:51 AM
BUBBLESHARE is imho the best photosharing site 2.0 ever. No limitations in bandwidth, nor space, and the overall UI is super cool. You can even use it w/out registering!!!!
Posted by: Bob-i-Licious | November 01, 2006 at 11:42 AM
Revver is another great video hosting platform with the tiwst that we pay creators for their work as well as sharers for sharing their content. We have the most robust and flexible API of any of the video portals - allowing you to create a full video portal accepting user registration, content upload, and playback all from your own site (with your own branding). (For more info, see http://developer.revver.com/)
We also have an incredibly customizable JavaScript widget that people have made entire sites with.
Video quality is also orders of magnitude better than most of the others on the list.
http://www.revver.com/
Posted by: Asi | November 01, 2006 at 03:43 PM
Thinker Labs (www.thinkerlabs.ca) is a great open source media project for video, art etc where you can post your own videos and download others at high quality, and for art download psd files etc etc.
Posted by: Nathan Colquhoun | November 01, 2006 at 04:55 PM
Great list and thanks for the recognition! Only one small problem :-( you forgot the .com at the end of our url when you posted our link.
http://www.project360.com
Posted by: Jean-Marc | November 02, 2006 at 12:32 AM
Germanys biggest social bookmarking service:
http://www.mister-wong.de
Posted by: Christian Clawien | November 02, 2006 at 04:34 AM
I think a link to http://www.billster.net/ is called for (Under Finance tools)- it's a new sexy site used to organize your money and help sort out your lazy roommates by tracking the cash they always owe you for bills :)
Posted by: Sarah | November 02, 2006 at 09:23 AM
Thank you for adding our servicde in your list, but there is one small problem. You forgot the .com at the end of our URL. www.project360.com, Thanks
Posted by: Pablo Rod | November 02, 2006 at 12:48 PM
You forgot http://www.bakespace.com in your list of social-networking sites.
CNet's Chow claims it's "tastier than Friendster & MySpace" and Imediaconnection lists it as one of the "most popular, up-and-coming social networks sites" out there. They are definitely taking a bite out of the MySpace market.
Posted by: Jamie | November 02, 2006 at 07:52 PM
Check out www.myfabrik.com - combining the best features and capabilities of media sharing and file storage services in one. The service includes powerful tools to manage, organize & generally deal with a large number of files (10's of thousands +). Worth a look and a try!!!
Posted by: Mike Cordano | November 02, 2006 at 11:07 PM
Video Storage www.sevenload.com
Posted by: Masy | November 03, 2006 at 04:29 AM
For video I second the comments about www.revver.com. Also, there's VEOH.
On the music front, did I miss last.fm? Last.fm, mog, goombah, haystack... the list grows daily.
Also, check out OnTour ( www.ontour.net) to match up your music library with concert tour dates and stay on top of who's coming to town.
I'd also add to the list www.kSolo.com, an online karaoke site. Karaoke isn't my thing, but it works for a lot of people. kSolo let's karaoke fans perform, listen, and share online. Plus users can post their "ksolo" performances on their websites.
In finances category, check out Blinksale.com and their online invoice service.
And I'm not sure if this fits the criteria here, but ChangeThis.com, with it's unique collection of manifestos, is an engaging resource of ideas, opinions and "white papers" on a variety of topics. Maybe file under World Improvement.
Posted by: jim ahearne | November 03, 2006 at 05:53 AM
Why is diggdot.us under People News Production?
It's an aggregator.
Posted by: Splog | November 03, 2006 at 01:26 PM
I can't believe BubbleShare is not mentioned. It's super easy to use, and doesn't even require registration. It should have taken the crown; the best by a mile.
Posted by: Hans Jokersson | November 04, 2006 at 03:42 AM
You are missing at least one important startup... CollectiveX.
What is CollectiveX? - if you didn't already know...
CollectiveX is a web-based software platform that enables any individual or organization to quickly and easily setup a private website for collaborating and networking within a group.
Posted by: Clarence Wooten | November 04, 2006 at 10:36 AM
I think Content Pop (http://www.contentpop.com) was released after this list was compiled, but is a great resource to submit your latest and greatest pieces of content. Also, you can create your own communities and place free web community ads back to your website for promotion.
Posted by: http://www.contentpop.com - Broadcast Yourself | November 04, 2006 at 02:15 PM
Why have you not mentioned the excellent sites
DIIGO and ThinkFree ????
Posted by: Orjan Widegren | November 05, 2006 at 05:43 AM
Excellent list, I don't think I've seen a list as comprehensive or well laid out.
I have a suggestion though, it's an art project where people from around the world can collaborate and make artworks in real time.
http://www.thebroth.com/
Although I'm not quite sure which category it would be best under...
Posted by: Sue | November 07, 2006 at 01:08 AM
Good list of sites. However, I have some suggestions for additions to your list.
http://www.myadsource.com/
Created to give publishers the ability to provide an online marketplace where consumers can search online ads, as well as, all print classified ads.
http://www.tooeleads.com/
Example of a MyAdSource site.

How about http://www.14dayz.com for Project Management and Team Colaboration or Business Software?
Posted by: Jeff | November 08, 2006 at 08:48 AM
Great list, and thanks very much for including our online invoicing service in the "Business Software" category.
Just wanted to let you know that 2ndSite was renamed and we have a new web site: http://www.FreshBooks.com
Posted by: Kathy | November 09, 2006 at 11:55 AM
Great list! I have one suggestion for an addition to the list (albeit a self-interested one) - wine communities. Sites like OpenBottles (http://www.openbottles.com), Cork'd and TastyDrop are bringing together people from all around the world and helping them share information and recommendations about wine. It's making a real difference in the way people research and buy wine. Thanks for the consideration.
