Announcing the Webware 100 Awards

We're kicking off the first user-generated Web 2.0 awards program: The Webware 100.

Why? Because there are more new sites and services than any mortal can possibly process, much less evaluate. And because the community of Webware users, in the aggregate, has a very good idea of what works and what's worth your time. This awards program will collate and organize that wisdom.

The Webware 100 will have 10 categories (see end of post), and there will be 10 winners in each. Here's how the awards program will work:
