Richard MacManus http://www.readwriteweb.com This week's poll is an extension of our 2007 Half-Year Web Technology Report, which reviewed the first six months of this year in web technology. In that report, I noted that Google and Facebook have been the two companies to impress me so far this year. But what do you think?

We've asked a similar question before, in December before we did our Best BigCo of 2006 post. At that time, Google got a whopping 54% of the votes, with Amazon the next best at 14%. Also, in Dec '06, Facebook weren't even in the running. But as I noted in the 2007 Half-Year Report, Facebook has virtually built itself into a BigCo over the past six months.

]]> So let us know which BigCo has impressed you most this year:

Their announcement for openID support had a good part of this list to move forward all of a sudden, and that in itself is a tremendous job.

If Mozilla were to embrass a similar concept (tool/platform more than product/browser), I think they could take the cake for 2007. The OpenID is a good step, but it would be nice to see more time put into XUL et al and into promoting a Mozilla platform. Adobe, Google, and Microsoft have little to be concerned about from the Mozilla corner at the moment. It would be good to see that change. That would put the Mozilla open source community back into the camp of groups that are pushing further innovation on (and off) the web.
