Web 2.0 Awards

i really enjoyed looking over the Web 2.0 Award Winners. i found several sites i was already familiar with (and a fan of) there, as well as some new sites i could try.

i am already a fan of YouTube, Facebook, Yahoo!Answers, and my newest favorite: Flickr. i was happy to see all of them as winning in their categories.

one site that took 2nd place in its RETAIL category was etsy. i have been hearing so many good things about this site and have been wanting to explore it.

i think i know where my next online purchase will be! www.etsy.com is a site that sells specifically handmade goods. it works like eBay, where you buy from the seller directly, not to etsy. you can search for all kinds of things, from toys to clothing to plants to housewares and art. i am especially fond of items in the toys section, i have a love for stuffed animals, and i love the look of those that are handmade! i even found amigurumi, japanese crocheted animals, yay!
