Over December we have published ten Top 10 lists for the best products of 2009, in categories ranging from Consumer Web Apps to Real-Time Technologies. Now we're opening up our selections for you to vote on. We've embedded a poll below, with all 100 products that the ReadWriteWeb team selected.

We invite you to vote for your favorite web products of 2009. You can select up to 10 products. If you don't see one of your favorites in the list, note it in the comments and we'll count that as a vote too.

We will announce the top 10, along with the full results, at the end of this week.

  1. How about YippieMove (http://www.yippiemove.com)? Perhaps not the most revolutionary service, but it sure is a very useful one.

  2. Why isn't the list in alphabetical order? SRSLY

  3. my votes for @rww top web products of 2009

     Posted by: adam seligman Author Profile Page | December 14, 2009 2:50 PM



  4. Many of these sites and products launched prior to this year... there's a difference between adding a new product and optimizing/perfecting/improving an older one. Seems unfair to the newbies to be compared against sites that have had several years to evolve, e.g. 5-year-old Facebook and 2-year-old Mint...

  5. Very good stuff @rww

     Posted by: Miguel Galera Author Profile Page | December 14, 2009 3:13 PM



  6. I kept scrolling down looking for one product, but couldn't find it... DROPBOX! Srsly, I couldn't work for a day without it. I use it on 3 computers and don't even realize I'm using it. Hoping this is just an oversight ;)

    Posted by: Sam | December 14, 2009 3:50 PM



  7. This list is missing a whole bunch such as Pandora, HubPages, and NetVibes.

    Posted by: Larry | December 14, 2009 4:35 PM



  8. Looking through the list it would seem there is a big one for me thats missing, dropbox?! I pretty much rely on their service more than any other. Hope its an oversight?

  9. for the people who own websites... try Woopra... the number one live web analytics program in the world.

    Posted by: Tarek | December 14, 2009 5:03 PM



  10. Consider this another write-in vote for Dropbox.

     Posted by: Keith Moore Author Profile Page | December 14, 2009 5:57 PM



  11. Social Text is leading edge enablement technology for Web 2.0

    Posted by: William T Haase | December 14, 2009 6:08 PM



  12. I'm glad you got all mine. I'll look up a few you mentioned, with which I'm not familiar.

    Posted by: fjpoblam | December 14, 2009 6:20 PM



  13. Dropbox would have to be right up there, with the ability to access files through the web, and its version control.

    Xero online accounting service is also top-notch and deserves a place.

    Posted by: mirazjordan.myopenid.com Author Profile Page | December 14, 2009 6:22 PM



  14. I would add YourVersion, a new real-time discovery engine. YourVersion makes it easy to keep up on the latest blogs, news, webpages, Tweets, etc, related to your specific interests. YourVersion was included in ReadWriteWeb's Top 100 Real-Time Web Companies, and won the People's Choice Award at TechCrunch50 where they launched.

  15. I’ve been getting a lot of feedly service is temporarily unavailable! pages lately. Is it just me? Anyways according to me wordpress is the best web product of 2009...

    Posted by: computer ram | December 14, 2009 7:50 PM



  16. It should only be for new products that were released in 2009. Otherwise it's pretty lame.

    Posted by: Jack | December 14, 2009 8:23 PM



  17. Oh dear, my favourite isn't on the list - Lazyfeed, for topic discovery

    Posted by: techandlife | December 15, 2009 12:02 AM



  18. Dropbox!

    Posted by: Lorin | December 15, 2009 2:37 AM



  19. Yep, voting for Dropbox.

     Posted by: Martin Author Profile Page | December 15, 2009 3:57 AM



  20. Definitely am gonna vote for all of them.......even i came to know about some of the products with which i was not familiar before.
    Thanks,
    Bryan.

  21. Please add pearltrees...

     Posted by: Tom Author Profile Page | December 15, 2009 6:34 AM



  22. Just wanted to suggest that you supply a quick inform link to your list of 100 best products for 2009. Is there anyone who has heard of most of these, let alone all, of these products?

    It would be great to know more about each one without having to resort to a Google search, (one more step), right from your site.

    I would like to suggest
    pearltrees, for their innovative mapping of the personal web, (or should I say personal graphic blogroll?) Have I got your attention? Check it out.

    Even though there is still more smoke than fire, because it is still beta, how about Google Wave. I don't think the content would be diluted from your list to include beta software. Google Wave is by far the most innovative and potentially the most significant product of 2009, second only to Chrome, in terms of far reaching implications.

    Good Luck to all in your
    web site promotion for 2010!

  23. jimdo es completo, facil e interesante

    Posted by: luz | December 15, 2009 7:18 AM



  24. If it's here, I don't see it, but my favorite app launched in 2009 is www.secondporch.com

    It's a new Facebook application for owners of vacation rental properties and users of vacation rental properties.

    Second Porch is a great enhancement to or alternative to traditional vacation rental listings and offers both owner and rental guest a comfortable and transparent space to communicate.

  25. Thank you muchly for including us. Kind of humbling to be listed among such heavy-hitting company. :)

    Definitely have to echo the votes for Dropbox, though. Big fan over here.

    Posted by: Melanie Baker | December 15, 2009 9:17 AM



  26. We use Woopra - the best live statistics. If you want to know what's going on online, try it.
    Thanks for the poll, very interesting.

    Posted by: angel | December 15, 2009 10:19 AM



  27. An alphabetic list would be great. Too late for me though.

    Twitter, feedly, and Aardvark got mine.

    Posted by: Bas | December 15, 2009 10:33 AM



  28. Richard

    I stand by my choices but needed another 10 to round out the list. And where is Dropbox by the way?

    Posted by: practicehacker | December 15, 2009 11:03 AM



  29. Friendfeed. Didn't see it listed, it's #1 on my list.

    Posted by: Jim | December 15, 2009 11:21 AM



  30. Dropbox.

    Posted by: Shed Plant | December 15, 2009 11:46 AM



  31. TLDR :O

    Posted by: Lajcik | December 15, 2009 12:32 PM



  32. Another vote for Dropbox.

     Posted by: Lesley Yarbrough Author Profile Page | December 15, 2009 1:29 PM



  33. What about Alltop? They came out with a new version this year, and launched at the same time as Regator.

    I also vote for Friendfeed.

     Posted by: Anita Cohen-Williams Author Profile Page | December 15, 2009 1:33 PM



  34. Github.

    Posted by: Mark | December 15, 2009 1:43 PM



  35. The best ARE MISSING....DROPBOX and LALA

    Posted by: fili41 | December 15, 2009 2:25 PM



  36. Agree with many of the top tools listed thus far.

    I'd add Jama Contour to the write-in candidate list for enterprise apps, for making product development more collaborative.

     Posted by: John Author Profile Page | December 15, 2009 3:32 PM



  37. LaLa(http://www.lala.com)should have definitively been included here; it's the most remarkable/ comprehensive music resources on the web these days.

     Posted by: Michael J. Toro Author Profile Page | December 15, 2009 4:28 PM



  38. Surpised not to see Blogger and Delicious in there ?

    Posted by: pcd2k | December 15, 2009 4:59 PM



  39. Another vote for DropBox here! :)

    Posted by: Japh | December 15, 2009 5:14 PM



  40. Dropbox Too!!!

    Posted by: kawow | December 15, 2009 7:42 PM



  41. I'm also for DropBox!

     Posted by: Sérgio Author Profile Page | December 15, 2009 7:54 PM



  42. Where's Brizzly? :)

    Posted by: Billy | December 15, 2009 9:21 PM



  43. Definitely Jimdo!

    Posted by: maggone | December 15, 2009 11:54 PM



  44. I bet it will be Twitter! http://bit.ly/6D3Q01

    Posted by: Betix | December 16, 2009 12:43 AM



  45. Me too think DropBox deserves a place up there.

    In addition, I will mention Laguna Survey (http://www.sonorait.com/), a state of the art web survey tool

    Posted by: Fritz | December 16, 2009 1:20 AM



  46. Hi there ! what about #pearltrees ? they really deserve to be in this list !

     Posted by: laetSgo Author Profile Page | December 16, 2009 2:11 AM



  47. Write-in. Dropbox and Delicious should not only be on the list, but are among my top 5.

    Posted by: csaetre | December 16, 2009 4:04 AM



  48. +1 vote for dropbox. More useful than all apps I clicked above.

    Posted by: Marcin Kasperski Author Profile Page | December 16, 2009 5:11 AM



  49. I agree with Claire on comment 4. It is unfair to newbies. Particularly I am not affiliated with any of their companies but including Facebook with say, Glue, seems odd and does not help obtaining reasonable stats as to year 2009. Unless of course you mean all time people's choice. But then again lists will always be attractive by the end of the year, just like Billboard's :)

    Posted by: Carlos Lorenzo | December 16, 2009 5:13 AM



  50. Interesting poll, but I think some cathegorization would have allowed us to be more "effective"
    And also, some of the candidates are really "young" and I'm not sure if it's fair to compare them with Google, Facebook and other "old mates"
