Businessweek: Best of the New Web
Business week has pre-released a piece fro their September 2005 issue featuring the Best of the New Web -- which a heavy emphasis on the 'New Web'. Normally, I have absolutely zero interest in such lists as they almost always pander to what is big in pop culture at the moment but while going over their list, it was obvious that the author really does have a clue here and they've included many of the really important people who are making all of this happen, folks like Dave Winer, Scoble and Doug Kaye. Enjoy the list, there are bound to be a few gems in there that you might not be aware of.

"In our travels around the Web, we come across countless sites and services. But with only 24 hours in the day, we have to settle on a relative few as places to work, play, and get things done online. These are our picks for the cream of the crop, ranging from the ridiculous (the disturbingly hilarious StuffOnMyCat) to the sublime (the group art blog PostSecret). The list was aided, in no small part, by our readers. Some of the best, such as the tech news site Digg.com and the great group advice site Ask Metafilter, came from sharp-eyed readers and have become some of our new favorites. Others, such as Google and Craigslist, may be obvious but just canÕt be beat. Either way, check them out and maybe you'll find some new favorites."
