Best Web Company in 2007
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:

I'm obviously biased, but Adobe seems like a glaring omission on that list. :)

Even though Mozilla is a BigFo, not a BigCow, I would have liked to see them featured as well.
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.
Added both Adobe and Mozilla! Sorry, the others got a 100-vote head start :-)
Google is only my choice. and I like Mozilla, too.
Google hasn't done anything impressive in years. Facebook's open API and what that's done for widgets was impressive.
How about swoot.com. This is the new hype when it comes to Rich Media applications. look at www.swoot.com
Facebook ... who doesn't like Facebook?
Facebook's move to calling itself a "social utility" along with building the tools to function in that role throw it far ahead of any similar product.
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.
For simple, functional applications my vote has to go to 37signals.com.
Google is the best. There's no doubt. Cause in web development google is a pioneer in every sense truely............!
