Curious to know what online enthusiasts have voted the top 100 cool Web 2.0 tools of 2008? Look no further than the 2008 Webware 100, an annual list from CNET’s Webware, representing the best Web 2.0 sites, services and applications, as nominated and voted on by their readers. Webware is a tech news site that highlights useful Web tools and the latest online trends.
Each year, readers nominate outstanding companies whose services best fit into ten categories. After collecting all the nominations (over 5,000 this year!), Webware editors narrow the list to 300 and invite readers to vote for the best companies.
After receiving 1.9 million votes this year, Webware announced the ten companies that won in each category. Windows Live services and Live Search were recognized in three categories:
- Communication: Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger
- Browsing: Windows Live Home
- Search and Reference: Live Search
This year’s award recognition helps to showcase how Windows Live innovations on the web continue to shape and change the way people communicate, share data, and find information online. Webware reviewer Rafe Needleman spearheads the Webware 100 awards competition. You can see all the winners in one place, here.
This year continues a positive trend, as Microsoft also received similar Webware 100 awards in 2007.

Congratz Live team! You guys deserve it, some of the best tools around.
The live team did GREAT !! I have my friends at work hooked on it now. The thing I found to be strange was that when we would suggest some thing the live team would then make it happen. I know they are still working on ways to better the great software they have made so every one keep telling them what you like. Thank you LIVE TEAM.
Congrats to Live Team !! Its getting better and better. Keep it up.
the live team has done great. every single new thing they come up with, after a little use i wonder how did I ever lived with out it. Live Folder Share for example, I now have all my documents synchronized on my laptop at school and on my PC at home. Well done Live team and keep up the good work.
Nota bene though, CNet is talking out of it\’s ass about Windows Live Home (didn\’t bother reading about the other ones); " People can get a bird\’s-eye view on their Hotmail" yepp, so small the whole heading doesn\’t even fit! "Users can also add all sorts of customizable gadgets to their Live Home page", no they can\’t you dumb a**es, that\’s the Windows Live "Personalized Experience", which hasn\’t even been updated in about a year! "That same directory houses gadgets that can be included in the Windows Vista sidebar, or on their Live Spaces or Events pages.", uuuhhh no, wrong again CNET!
Congratulations! It didn\’t take long for me to realize that the Live platform is the way of the future, and it looks like I am not alone. To the entire Live team, Great Job!!
well,congratulations as all the world know that you are the top and you deserve it ,and i\’ve been with since about 8 years or maybe more so i was sure that you are gonna reach the top one day ,besides there is a great team beyond all of that hardwork and iam looking forward to be with your team and its my dream all time,good job keep it up team
Woot. Well deserved wins. Windows Live, and Office Live for that matter, are great services. Not one mention of Live Writer? Fools!
It\’s a great tool that puts Live Spaces well above the other blogging platforms. Good work, kids.
希望越做越好.在中国放置服务器.加快访问速度.
Wow, great. Well deserved.

big deal, every big mail service received the award: google, yahoo, aol, live and some I have not even heard about. That makes the award seem pretty meaningless.Who do you suppose won awards for best browser? Let\’s see, IE, Firefox, Safari, and others… ooooh bold choices Webware
Fair play to yous …… keep up the gud work… x xx
I wonder if any free programmes or software won in any categories. There isn\’t much choice about who will win, is there?
Felicitaciones!!!!
With that and five bucks we can get a cup of designer coffee anywhere on the planet.
Seriously, Congratulations!

A complete package for everyone
Felicitaciones,Equipo Windows Live
No doubt MS is the best in Technologies and This live package helps user from the tension of remebering all the password to access multiple resources and email box. No other service provider is available which gives free linking of mail boxes with each other either way. Sky drive is the universal option given by LIVE mail by which user can store his/her files and can access any time any where in the world with user authorization. And the more precious thing is Computer Security these any system which does not have any security suit is not secured. So Live MAIL also offred a trial pack of security for the users to use and upgrade it if they likes. I hopes this is also as BEST as other technolgies are available in the Computers Market. WHAT else I can say Its already too MUCH……I think u got bored….so Now i am leaving u guys………ins short MS is BEST throughout the world.
well done my friends i hope you to make it better
WELL done !!!!!!!
Congratulations on winning the 2008 Webware 100 award! This makes me want to use windows live and silverlight.
Congrats! Love the windows live mail/messenger mobile app btw.
Congrats! But I notice Windows Live Mail Desktop is not in the list. Good reason: LMD appears to be just an updated version of Outlook Express. Instead, Live Hotmail should be extended 2 ways to replace LMD:1: Hotmail should allow users to provide setups for other mail services and then "proxy" mail access for the user (i.e. if I have 3rd party mail services, I should be able to provide Live Hotmail with the appropriate info and let it get my mail from me THROUGH hotmail WITHOUT requiring all my mail to be downloaded to my PC.)2: the option to store my email locally should be provided through Hotmail for all mail services proxied through it.
I have 4 PCs I use regularly… Live Mail Desktop (like OE) forces me to download all my mail to each wasting much bandwidth, storage space, and time. This biases me toward using Live Hotmail. But I have some 3rd party mailboxes… So I am left with NO integrated solution that is acceptable. Worse, it is just plain poor design on your part: these features are orthogonal and should not be linked. The day of the PC-centric solution (e.g. copying my mail to "my PC") is dead; server-centric solutions are the future (e.g. when I want to search my email for key-phrase "project X", I want the email searched on the server, NOT all downloaded to the PC (or cell phone!) I happen to be using and then searched!)
All that could drop out of my mouth is, Wow!
Very nice work, its been fun to watch live evolve.
congrats!! but i hope hotmail allows more than the current filter number though…
Well done, folks. I love all the MSN software. You truly deserve your \’Honours\’. I\’m pleased to have found this article just so I could "share" your happiness with you. Good ole Microsoft!
well done. i believe that you deserve it. congrats.
That\’s really cool! Keep up the extraordinary work!
The new email display is horrible, clostrophobic, too small to know where you are at in scrolling from page to page. Why? I am shocked and disappointed by the total waste of page space for all that crap I don\’t want to see. A whole third of the page for Hotmail nothing entries? What is the deal? Are you trying to make me do something? Just ask.
