# Poll: What 3 Web Apps or Services Excite You Most?

![](https://web.archive.org/web/20100617032927im_/http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/cat_excited.jpg)[One year ago today](https://web.archive.org/web/20100617032927/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/exciting_web_apps.php) we first asked that question, so now is a good time to ask it again. What 3 web apps or services do you find **the most exciting** right now? Note that ***‘exciting’*** is the keyword, so they won’t necessarily be your 3 *favorite* or *most used* web apps or services. For example Facebook would make many people’s list of 3 favorite sites, but does it get you all tingly with excitement these days? So, what we want to know is: what 3 apps **get your juices flowing** right now.

We did an informal poll at the ReadWriteWeb office (actually a Skype room) and our picks are below. We’d love to know yours as well, so please leave a comment telling us the 3 web apps or services that excite you the most.
