It got my vote.

They're hedging their bets a bit, aren't they ... with 10 winners in
each category? Although the ordering seems to indicate an overall rank
(I wish they'd explicitly state it) - it isn't alphabetical anyway.
Having all 4 major browsers as "winners" is a bit silly, I think.

>From the ordering it appears that Wordpress beat Drupal overall, but
I'll stick to my guns and say I still prefer Drupal.

I also picked Firefox, Google, GooTube, and Wiki-P (overall winners).

I'm disappointed to note that neither Pidgin nor Netscape made the cut
at all, losing out to Gmail (bleh!) and Gaia (never heard of it)
respectively.

Amazon took second place after eBay, which I think is fair enough - I
nearly voted that way myself.

I've also never heard of any of the winners in the entertainment
category ... not one.
