I am quite shocked to see that you have listed nearly every IM aggregated solution except for eBuddy who I personally nominated in the Communications category the first week you announced nominations.

eBuddy has higher global traffic and penetration than your 2007 winner, meebo and also delivers a mobile IM platform. What gives?

Part of the problem with eBuddy is that it lacks some functionality - for example, I'm a long time ICQ user. I don't know why anymore, but a lot of my friends still use it.

In addition, the sign-up form is not very user friendly. I see no Submit/Cancel buttons when I tried to sign up (Firefox 2 on Windows) - you can't scroll down the form at all. I'm working on a laptop, so its not like I can bump up the screen resolution, and using ctrl - in FF to reduce the text size didn't work either.

Other than that it looks like it might be OK - certainly quicker than Meebo.

This is stupid. How can you even have "Office Live workspace" in this voting???
I signed up for it a very very long time ago and I have not yet got a chance to try it. They keep sending me teasing mail, it's coming it's coming. Apparently the demand have been so high. I saw the Video Interview zdnet did but that's all I have seen of Office Live Workspace. But since there is like no one that have tested it yet, i find it odd to see it in the votes.

Thanks for the opportunity to vote on my favorite applications and websites. I was even introduced to some new ones that I plan on trying out.

Did Spottt.com, the Free link exchange service, miss out on voting because of the public availability deadline? I did try to ask ahead of time if deadline for making service accessible to public was submission or voting deadline. Please advise. Thank you, Jennifer
