Open Web Awards : Applications and Widgets

Once a placeholder name used in textbooks to illustrate a fictional product, Widgets now have their own awards. Those are the times in which we live.

It's not our fault, we didn't usurp the term widget to describe snippets of code that allow your mom to add the latest web thing-a-ma-bob to her blog, but there you have it. Widgets are a part of the lexicon.

Regardless of this sad, made up word usurping culture in which we operate, it's time to do some voting. The Applications and Widgets candidates in this category were chosen by you, the web surfing public. Now that's democracy in action.

Take the jump to vote for your favorite Application or Widget.


You are voting for your favorite Application or Widget in the Open Web Awards, a distributed contest to find the best sites on the web. The top three sites in this category will proceed to the final round starting December 17th, and there will be an awards ceremony at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco on January 10th, 2008.
