Update (Friday Jan 20th, 08:30 PM): This post gotdugg to the front page of digg.com sometime yesterday morning. I appreciate all you comments and diggs. This list would not be “complete” without your comments. While posting I had intended to update the list with more applications that you suggest. But I’m overwhelmed with the number of sites in the comment section. I apologize that I don’t have enough time to research and get information about all of them. I recommend that all readers read through the comments to discover more Web 2.0 applications.
