Today I'm saving my friends from the trouble of chasing down the best applications of the year. Tis the season for lists, so mine is culled from other best 2008 applications lists. This one is in no particular order. Some of the apps are found in one list only, others are duplicated in several lists. I've tried many of them, but by no means all. In fact, there are a few that I'm not ashamed to admit I haven't a clue as to what they do. Here's my list:
- Most under-hyped-apps of 2008, from LifeHacker
- The Webware 100 top Web apps for 2008
- 2008 Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com! Top 10 Applications list
- Top Ten Consumer Web Apps of 2008 from ReadWriteWeb
- Stepcase Lifehack Top 10 web apps in 2008
The next one is for mobile phones only:
FierceMobileContent Top Mobile applications of 2008
and finally, here's David Pogue's New York Times list of the best technical ideas of 2008, the Pogie Awards
Go and play with these...my personal favorites are pretty low-tech: meebo, photobucket, yapta(which I saw on no list), etsy (because my daughter sells jewelry there), pandora, flickr, facebook, google maps and google earth, netflix, Ask, and good old Aim.
