When I frist try to access the web 2.o awards site it was down, so I turned to google and punched in web 2.0. I ran across a really great web 2.0 site that catalogs web 2.0 sites. ( This could get complicated your thinking but thats the end of the redundancy). What was nice about this site, http://www.go2web20.net/ is that it uses tags in a could to let you pic out a site by the type, ie a site about videos, music, social networking, shopping ect. Through this site I found a very fun cooking site that uses user generated tags to lets me search for shared recipes by ingredient or taste.
After finally getting to the web.20 awards I was not impressed. The awards mostly featured sites that are already popular and familiar to many users, and I did not find that many of the sites that interesting with the exception of www.pandora.com which is an awesome Internet radio type site that lets you select an artist or song you like and it builds a radio station of similar music. As the play list rolls you can tell the program if you liked or disliked a certain song and this will alter what kind of songs will appear on the station in the feature. Since the basic service is free you do get more b-sides, live tracks, and slightly odder tunes, but talk about the ultimate radio experience! The adds are visual so all that is required to ignore them is a minimized explorer window.
