Top 10 Consumer Web Apps of 2008 It's a well-known fact that our readers are on the cutting - if not bleeding - edge of technology. But sometimes, it's important to take a step back and realize that the apps to which we've grown so incredibly accustomed are just barely beginning to register with the general public. With the Top 10 Consumer Web Apps of 2008, we've tried to select the apps that have burst onto the radar of the everyday user this year - or if not quite, then perhaps they will next year. This was a year - after years of build up - in which two major events had worldwide impact on the Web. This is the third in a series of top products of 2008: Note: We attempted to order this list from most obvious to least obvious. 1.

Best of 2007: Top 7 Coolest Web Apps While everyone is trying to create their ultimate list of the winners and losers of 2007, please allow us to take a different, utterly subjective route, and choose the coolest web applications of 2007. Yes, we're not looking for that geek with straight A's in the front row here; we're looking for the guy in the back who has the brains to be the best but he just doesn't give a damn. Only applications that became available to the public in 2007 are considered, so excuse us if we haven't covered all possible categories. Here are our winners in this weird category, in no particular order.
