Web 2.0. I checked out some of the winners, and I noticed that some sites are already use, or have discovered and can see why they won, such as Pandora. In an effort to go outside the box, instead of checking out the health sites, I decided to look at the winner for the travel site. As someone who loves to travel, wishes she could travel more often, and spends much time using online sites to book hotels, cars, plane trips etc, I frequent travel sites. I have never used Farecast before. I will tell you this, when it first opened up in a separate window, I though it was a pop-up. It just looked so plain! Then I realized it wasnt and reopened it. I typed in a search for a hotel in a city and it came up with some good prices. I do like the fact that it searches Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz all at once instead of me having to go to each of those sites separately. Since I like to shop around for the best price, I may keep this site in mind. But I dont think I’ll ever leave Priceline behind =)
Yahoo answers. I noticed this won for Questions and Advice. Ive seen yahoo answers, and Im not a fan. Id trust wikipedia before them. It kind of reminds me of that one site, I believe it was Make, about people giving advice on things I think a professional should only do. But then again, no one is forcing advice, and you certainly dont have to take it. But I have yet to see a reaeeeally good answer to questions Ive asked out in the Google world on Yahoo answers.
Quick note: Flickr won the photos category and I agree. Ive seen coworkers flickr accounts and its really simple to navigate and set up.
