Friday 5: Best of the 2007 Webby Awards

[Lucy Gray]

Hi All -

The Webby Awards were recently announced, and here are a few of my
favorite sites culled from the long list of nominees and winners.
Check out the entire list (http://www.webbyawards.com/index.php) if
you would like more information!

Thanks,

1) Poetryfoundation.org
http://www.poetryfoundation.org/

This site has a great search tool: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poetrytool.html.
One feature includes searching for poetry-related images within the
foundation's Flickr groups.

2) Best Stuff in the World
http://www.thebeststuffintheworld.com/

#2 and #3 on this week's list fall under the category of social
networks, sites that revolve around user generated content. Best Stuff
in the World has people rate and compare anything and everything.

3) Last.fm - The Social Music Revolution
http://www.last.fm/

Listen to and buy music here at this site.

4) The Gapminder World 2006
http://tools.google.com/gapminder/

I think I've mentioned this site in a previous Friday 5, but it's
worth another mention. This site uses graphics to represent data in
interesting ways.

5) Smithsonian Photography Initiative
http://photography.si.edu/

This site has search capabilities which allow one to easily browse
photos, create a personalized collection, and share it with others.
