It’s that time, no pun intended, that every on and offline publication does its best & worst look back at the now-previous year.
Time Magazine takes a look at what it believes are the 50 best websites of 2007.
A number of sites made the cut in the “web services” category:
- Mozy – online backup
- Weebly – simple site creation
- Netvibes – custom start page
- OhDon’tForget – easy SMS reminders
- WetPaint – free wiki
- Twitter – do I really need a short description in this crowd? Didn’t think so.
- Tumblr – scrapbook meets forum meets blog
- Zoho, ThinkFree, Ajax13 – a 3-way tie for the online office crown
- GrandCentral – one phone number, many ways to answer it
Personally, I’m shocked they missed Meebo, and I’m grateful there’s nary a Facebook app in the mix.
What do you think of their picks?

They did a good job picking online utility sites. Tumblr definitely deserves the nod.
In the end, I’m just glad that MySpace is on their “worst” list.
I can’t believe that Springnote is not here!!!

^Agreed.
I’m still trying to convince people to give up MySpace for WordPress.
I think Last.fm is the only one in the top five that deserves to be there. Why is mozy number one?
Where is hulu?!
Twitter is number 49?! I am ashamed to enjoy Time magazine.
