At the start of March I thought it would be a pretty cool competition to see if someone could predict more of the webware top 100 than I could. Today is decision day and here are the results.

My competitor: Mike (Blogging-ads)

Winners: Webware 100

Results:

Audio: Me (5), Mike (9)

Browsing: Me (4), Mike (5)

Commerce: Me (6), Mike (5)

Communication: Me (6), Mike (5)

Productivity: Me (5), Mike (3)

Publishing: Me (6), Mike (7)

Search: Me (9), Mike (4)

Social: Me (5), Mike (3)

Utility: Me (5), Mike (7)

Video: Me (4), Mike (6)

Overall: Me (55), Mike (54)

Therefore, out of the webware 100 I correctly selected 55 of the winners before the competition even started. Now, Mike what do I actually get for my win? I think we will definitely have to add some more players next year to get the prizes a bit more interesting!

Voting is now open for the Webware 100. This is one of web awards that actually means something. You can head here and cast your votes. There are 10 categories looking for votes:

• Audio: Music, podcasts, audiobooks.
• Browsing: Browsers, start pages, RSS readers, widgets, runtime engines.
• Commerce and events: Retail, auctions, travel, real estate, concerts, conferences.

I will be discussing my votes in the coming week or so.
