Webware 100 Voting Opens -- Go and Vote!

CNET-owned Webware has opened voting on the Webware 100. Last year they received over 480,000 votes and this year you can select three companies in each category so that there is more chance for some of the smaller players to win. There's a good mix of companies from around the world. From what I can tell, the winners will be selected by user voting. Vote here

I will post my voting selections later this week. There are 10 categories looking for votes:

• Audio: Music, podcasts, audiobooks.
• Browsing: Browsers, start pages, RSS readers, widgets, runtime engines.
• Commerce and events: Retail, auctions, travel, real estate, concerts, conferences.
• Communications: E-mail, chat, voice.
• Productivity: App suites, to-do lists, groupware.
• Publishing and photography: Blogging, content management, photo sites.
• Search and Reference: Search engines, encyclopedias, mapping.
• Social: Social networking, family sites, recommendations, online worlds, contests.
• Utility and Security: Infrastructure providers, storage, online protection.
• Video: Video storage, playback, streaming, editing, and animation.
