#19: Web 2.0 awards

This was a fun exercise. I spent (and enjoyed spending) time looking at waaaaay too many sites , but in the end, I decided upon Listdump as a favorite and potentially useful site. Touted as "a list junkie's dream," visitors are encouraged to contribute to existing lists, vote on other users' lists, and add their own lists. I can envision creating a library users list in which users do readers' advisory: a simple little "Favorite books." Or one in which they form a branch "wish list." (But I'd want to find a way to keep the younger viewers away from the porn-type lists!)
Incidentally, in looking at some of these lists, I wonder if I am looking at someone's rollyo.
For example, one user has a Best Food Websites list. If I am actually learning anything here, I think I recognize such a list as a rollyo. Yes or no?
