I voted for:
Browsing: Firefox
Communications: Pidgin
Community: Netscape
Data: Google
Entertainment: <blank>
Media: GooTube
Mobile: <blank>
Productivity: Amazon
Publishing: Drupal
Reference: Wikipedia
I left the "Entertainment" category blank because I'd simply never heard
of any of those sites. If they'd had it, I would have voted for these
guys, who are totally nuts:
http://www.improveverywhere.com
Same with the "Mobile" category (although of course I have heard *of*
Google Mobile Maps), except I never use it, or anything else on my
mobile other than making voice calls.
In "Communications", I would have voted for the IPV6 protocol, if it'd
been there. Likewise I would have voted for either Slashdot, Hexus or
[H]ardOCP in "Community". Although I voted for Google in "Data", I'm not
sure that's the appropriate category - I would have placed it in
"Reference", but still voted for Wikipedia in preference, and voted for
BitTorrent in "Data" instead.
It was a tough call in their "Productivity and Commerce" combined
category. I really wanted to vote for either eBay or Google Docs, but in
the end I had to pick Amazon. About the only thing Amazon doesn't sell
is groceries (OK there are a few other things too), but if they did then
they'd be pretty much the only company I'd deal with. From a company
that started out just selling books, it really has become the best one
stop shop for everything. I couldn't pass up the chance to vote for them.

Yes, CNET is hardly impartial.
