Okay, the title’s stretching it a bit far. However, if you were to choose five (only 5!?) Web 2.0 sites or services, which ones would you pick and why?
5) LinkedIn – a lot of people don’t think LinkedIn is that useful but if you’re the networking type, this gotta be the place for you. I heard of stories from officemates of friends getting hired because of their LinkedIn profiles.
4) Netvibes – this is my personal online executive assistant. She has all (almost) the information and details I need.
3) YouTube – everyone’s gotta have their own juice of entertainment and I think YouTube tops the chart for all visual pleasures. It could practically replace your set top TV.
2) Digg – this guy changed the way we looked at news and help the common netizen take back the web.
1) Wikipedia – Wikipedia exemplifies that saying in the old Hackers movie “information belongs to the world!”
So, what’s your top 5?
i think flickr.com should be included on the list.
It’s hard define a web 2.0 but anyways, these are mine:
1. maps.google.com
2. youtube.com
3. amazon.com
4. movies.yahoo.com
5. some biz and tech blogs

My lists :)
1. eBenTa instead of Digg – (www.ebenta.com check why, eh) Q_Q
2. google (search engine)
3. youtube (vides)
4. techrunch – (tech news)
5. ebay – (as a seller)
Wikipedia, Digg, Youtube, Zooomr, and Multiply.
Hmmm… Wikipedia and Flickr are my two picks.
1. wikipedia = ika nga ni ernie baron, “kung walang knowledge, walang power”
2. youtube = ranked only 2nd since its banning at the office)
3. last.fm = music stuff
4. digg = random news
5. random blog (:P)
Wikipedia and Digg are definitely on my list! :)
oh, web 2.0 He he. Yeah, well, put Quezon.ph there instead.
Btw, uh, Inquirer?
I’m not going to spend 25 bucks on the Inquirer. I’d rather buy a beer.
Yep, those Altech Bluetooth speakers are going to fry your brain anyway.
@ BrianB – I can’t do it the Engadget way. The international shipping alone is very expensive. Alam mo naman dito saten ‘Pinas. Besides, my entry limit is 100 only so each one has 1% chance of winning. Sa Engadget umaabot ng 5,000+ entries which has way lower chances of winning. I think my contest mechanics are much easier than theirs.
Btw, uh, Inquirer?
Abe, here’s how you do gadget giveaways

Pageflakes instead of netvibes.
