Based on the popularity of our brgr post earlier this week, we present the Web 2.0 burgers submitted by our readers (with free bonus link love!). My favorite is the Apple burger listed below. Vote for your favorites in the comments. Come on in RSS, these burgers need your support to stay on the menu!

Other burgers:

• Anonymous – Apple burger – Apple burger: Beautiful, but not compatible with 25% of available condiments.

• Live Television – The Glossy Glossy: I'll have the Del.icio.us Digg, hold the GMail, with a side order of Flickr and Youtube on the side. Oh and with extra Facebook, but no myspace please. And no I don't want reddit with that.
• Grendel – The Rails burger – comes with a kit to make a burger in 20 seconds… it will be ok if you eat it alone, but if more than one person tries to eat it at the same time it will fall apart
• Courtney – Beta burger – Hear whispers of an invite-only burger at the next table, order said burger, wait with insufferable anticipation for burger to arrive and then throw burger away when it finally lands on your table (12 weeks later, shaped like an artichoke, tasting like liquorice and smelling like sh*t).

• Qred – The Reddit Burger: Sort of like the Digg burger, but you can't eat it because it copied Digg and copiers are bad.
• Qred – The Answerbag burger: The people at the counter keep asking you "would you like this" and it never ends.

• an8kid – MMORPG Burger – It comes in a shiny box, loads of the other customers rave about it… but it takes hours to download to your table, and when it gets to your table… you have to pay extra for the roll… and the lettuce… and the ketchup… and the secret sauce.
• Darren Stuart – the bbc.co.uk burger – The biggest burger you will ever find and its completely free

By the time you finish mashing it up, you won't know how to eat what's on your plate, so it's highly recommended to order the JSON or RSS burger on the side.
• Colby – Bacn burger – While you are waiting for this delicious burger to be served, the waiter comes to your table every minute or two with an update on its progress.

So today I am in a taxi in NYC and we are at a red light when I see the best name for a burger joint ever: brgr. It's totally Web 2.0! Remember the days before the Internet when every pest control company was named: AAAAAAAA Pest Control? It seems Web 2.0 names have invaded offline today as well!
