Web 2.0 awards thing...
I looked at several of the sites on the list of award winners. I think that YouSendIt could be really useful - it lets you send and receive large electronic files. There's a free version that allows you to send a file of up to 100 MB with up to 100 downloads. The file remains on the site for 7 days, so your recipients have a few days to get to it. The business versions range from $5 to $30 per month - not terribly expensive for file size up to 2 GB with 200-500 downloads. I can see a value in this type of service for photos, videos, slide shows, or anything else that takes up a lot of space but you want a lot of people to see. I could see that this would be a good way for library customers to share files on public access PCs - especially for customers that don't have a portable storage device (ie, flash drive) and for whom a floppy disk's capacity is too small.
Being a good American, I also liked the retail sites. Etsy is neat-o with cool handmade items to buy (and also sell). I like the colors page; you can click on any color and the site will find items for you that are that color. Instant shopping!
