We had a great response, with 113 comments. I decided to list each web app mentioned in a spreadsheet and count up the most popular. What surprised me was the number of web apps that got at least one mention: 161. No doubt some of those were left by the developers themselves, but many were left by seemingly passionate users. The most popular were the usual suspects: Twitter, Flickr, FriendFeed, Google Reader. The full list after the break… Here were the most popular (number of votes listed to the right): Twitter 10 Flickr 7 FriendFeed 7 Google Reader 7 last.fm 6 Twhirl.com 5 del.icio.us 4 Meebo 4 remember the milk 4 Here is the full list of web apps noted by ReadWriteWeb readers (number of votes listed if more than 1). If you haven’t already, add your faves to the comments here! …and no I’m not adding links! It took me long enough to do the spreadsheet 😉**UPDATE:** links added thanks to [andymurd](https://web.archive.org/web/20081217120116/http://www.mmmeeja.com/blog)! Thanks Andy, you’re a rock star!
