I originally wrote about an awesome Web 2.0 directory back in 2006 called GoWeb20. It essentially gave you just about every new and up and coming Web 2.0 site that the world was to behold. I’ve recently become increasingly annoyed with the site, as it has become extremely bloated and almost brings my machine to a halt at times.
So, I decided to look elsewhere for some alternatives for finding many of the Web 2.0 sites out there. It wasn’t hard to find many, but I was looking specifically for directories, not business like sites, like TechCrunch. Here are three of the ‘big’ ones I found:
KillerStartups
Killer Startups is specifically designed towards startup companies. They review 15 new companies per day and rank them according to votes, similar to Digg. It’s a great place to find brand new sites, not necessarily ones that have been around for a while.
Listio
Listio is a simple Web 2.0 directory. They give quick snippets of what each of these sites are, and then displays similar projects down below. It can be quite addictive browsing through the dozens of related web applications that exist out on the www.
NetWebApp
NetWebApp is very similar to Listio, in that it displays web applications in directory form, but it organizes them by category. You can simply select what area of web apps you are looking for.
Directory sites such as these come in handy when you are looking for something new to sign up for, or simply something new to write about on your blog.
Do you have any other suggestions?
