OpenWeb Awards Nomination: Applications and Widgets
Ok, this is the first of four posts today where you can nominate your favorite websites that have to do with applications and widgets. What are your favorite FaceBook applications, what widgets do you use on your blog, etc. There is a great explanation of what widgets are at Wikipedia. A few I can think of are the “iLike” and “Where have You Been” applications for FaceBook that allow you to show your favorite music and show to what parts of the world you have traveled respectively. As far as widgets, popular widgets related to blogging include BlogRush and WidgetBucks, both of which I have experimented with.
To cast your nomination, simply leave a comment or send me an e-mail.

NOMINATE MindTouch Deki Wiki for Applications & Widgets
http://wiki.opengarden.org/Deki_Wiki/Release/Hayes
MindTouch Deki Wiki is the most popular vendor backed wiki. It is free open source software (FOSS) and is commonly used for online communities, collaboration, or for building collaborative web applications. It’s built completely on open standards (XHTML, JSON or PHP). It was the first OSI-approved commercially supported open source wiki (released under GPL 2), and is now the only open wiki platform. It has the most complete API that features 99 REST based methods and a web-service extension model that makes it possible to create mashups with many other applications, widgets, and/or data stores like Google Maps, Digg, Flickr, YouTube, MySQL, widgets from WidgetBox, etc.
I nominate SezWho - http://www.sezwho.com
SezWho gives every online community the power of eBay-like ratings and reputations, providing community participants with valuable information about the views and expertise of the individuals who contribute through comments and content. Visitors can rate user-generated content based on the value provided. Next to each comment is a simple question: “Was this comment useful to you?” A cumulative ranking is then associated with each comment, which collectively provides an overall score associated with individual profiles. SezWho lets reviewers take their reputation and reviews with them wherever they participate on the web, offering a snapshot of their expertise and knowledge throughout all SezWho-enabled sites.
