Thing #19

I chose the following sites based primarily on user-friendly organization.Usability, social aspects, and content quality also were my considerations. Here is my list:

http://magic.pen.fizzlebot.com/
http://del.icio.us/
http://www.snapfish.com/
http://earth.google.com/
http://www.myspace.com/
http://www.lulu.com/
http://www.docstoc.com/
http://www.myheritage.com/
http://pbwiki.com/
http://istats.com.au/
http://farecast.live.com/
http://www.kayak.com/

According to http://www.seomoz.org/ the web sites on the award list are all nominated according to several categories ( content, leveraging of popular trends, inclusion of emerging web technologies) To win the awards, they must be voted on by the best bloggers and business people.
Also, http://knowledge.computing.co.uk/2008/05/new-web-20-awar.html is an interesting site to read to find out what is happening in the UK about the Web 2.0 awards.
As I was reading blogs about the Web2.0 awards, I stumbled across http://www.seoco.co.uk/blog/2008/06/12/web-20-awards/ Evidently, these awards were dropped from Google Results. Many bloggers had their own opinions why this has happened.

Hi, its Dave here from seoco.co.uk, thankyou for linking to my blog. Erm is there any chance you could fix the link? It does not work properly at the moment I think there is a word at the end of it or something.

The awards page is back in Google now. It dropped from the results because the web-page url ended in a .0. Jane blogged about it here:
