The Top 100 Web 2.0 Applications in Australia
by Allen Stern on June 18th, 2008
Last week we published a list of the top 10 Web applications in Russia. Today, Australia is out with their list by Ross Dawson of Future Exploration Network. Here are the key takeaways from the report:
- A much larger scene this year than last
- Many major success stories
- Many ideas start but many fail as well – Russ says the most promising path to success is through failure.
- Overseas action – many companies who gain ground in Australia either move completely overseas to the U.S. (mostly Silicon Valley) or move for a temporary period. Russ notes that there’s also movement to East Asia, India and Europe.
- Lots of clones
Here are the top 10 – check out the full list:
- mig33
- Confluence
- Red Bubble
- 3eep
- Engagd
- MyVirtualHome
- Booking Angel
- Gnoos.com.au
- Scouta
- RetailMeNot
You should check out the list – lots of great Web applications. I hope more bloggers in countries outside the U.S. will create lists like this. It’s awesome to see more innovation and thought from outside the valley.





As an Australian.. is it bad that I’ve only heard of two of the top ten, and don’t use any?
nah – get out there and try them now!
Im from Australia and recently moved to the UK. So is it bad that I have heard of none of them in the top 10?
you are fired – get your bags and get out – go work at yahoo or something
