My Weekly Top-10
Vishals Top-10
--------
1. Webaroo
Webaroo indexes the “highest quality” websites for content and creates topic based web packs for download. The content in those webpacks is stored offline on your computer and updated periodically. To test it, I fired up my old PC, installed the 5 MB application, and downloaded the World News and San Francisco web packs.Then I unplugged from the net and tried it out. The webpacks were great, allowing me to search or browse content. I would love this on a plane. The specific website index didn’t work out so well - all formatting and CSS was stripped from the page and the site looked horrible. Still, the content was there.
2. Feedostyle
FeedoStyle is a new service that allows people to pull any RSS feed into a stylized module on a web page. The idea is to allow blog and other website publishers to include new content directly onto their site in a very easy way.
3. Buzzshout
BuzzShout, which went live yesterday, is a collaborative review site for new web companies. Some people are going to think this is useless, and a few will have a ton of fun with it. If you have something to say to or about a web 2.0 company, this is the place to do it.
4. Gaycities
A travel & nightlife beta site focused on the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bi, transgender) market, with listings and ratings & reviews of Gay bars & clubs, gay-marketed hotels, events and beaches in cities ac ...
5. Hotpads
Map based housing search. This thing uses its own mapping application and has data you won't find anywhere else
6. Blinklist
Blinklist allows you to save and keep track of all the important or interesting pages you find online. Are you still using the Favorites menu in your browser to save bookmarks? Forget about it! Blinklist expands on this concept in many powerful ways.
7. faceparty
Faceparty really is the Biggest Party on Earth™ - with 5,974,553 members online, you're sure to find hundreds of like-minded people, meet dozens of new friends and fall victim to the odd one night stand .
8. Platial
Platial enables anyone to find, create and use meaningful maps of Places that matter to them. We hope it can connect people, neighborhoods, cities and countries through a citizen-driven common context that goes beyond geopolitical boundaries. We are building it, because we adore Places.
The specific concept for building an online, shared mapping tool came after Di-Ann and I had moved to Amsterdam in 2004. We encouraged a lot of people to come visit, to stay with us, to hang out. But we had to work, deal with the kids, etc, and couldn't be tour guides all day long.
9. Mercora
"The RADIO 2.0 platform enables social radio on a global scale and combines the power of people, their music and audio, distributed processing, digital streaming and tagging to create one of the largest 100% user-contributed and user-programmed social radio networks on the Internet.

10. Ookles
Ookles is Scott Johnson’s (Feedster Founder) newest venture, and my expectations are very high for this yet to be launched photo service.
