Top Websites of year 2008

"Top 6 websites of the year 2008 are Facebook, Firefox, Google, iTunes, MySpace, and YouTube"
Finally Webware has announced its 100 winners for year 2008.Top 100 websites,in which 10 websites were selected for 10 different categories,according to the Webware users.
Fans of webware will be able to find all the winners at one stop point, or you can also get list of all the winners in the webware site navigator giving details abut winner by winner.There were Over 1.9 million votes casted for the 300 finalists for this year 2008. These finalists were selected (by Webware editors) from a pool of over 5000 qualifying nominees. But the 100 winners were selected by popular vote. These winning 100 products represent the best of the Web, according the people who use it.
Voting overview
As with the 2007 awards, the majority of votes, 88% this year, were cast for winning products. Of the ten categories, the most popular in terms of votes cast was Browsing. However it's worth noting that one of the entries in that category, Maxthon, drove an inordinate amount of votes by putting a vote-driving popup in the software itself. Even after we had the popup removed, though, Maxthon easily garnered a winning number of votes.
If you subtract the initial Maxthon Effect votes from Browsing, by far the most voted-in category was Social, just like last year. And again, Gaia Online got the most votes in the category. However, competition in this space is heating up. Gaia's 136,000 votes, while well ahead of the 91,000 it won last year, represented only 34% of the votes cast in the Social category, compared to 60% last year.
Just slightly more than half of all the votes cast in the Webware 100 went to the top 10 vote-getter's. Six of these top 10 are no surprise at all: Facebook, Firefox, Google, iTunes, MySpace, and YouTube. But the other four may not be as familiar to most Webware readers:
