Many thanks to all who participated in the survey!

The annotations (mouse over the links) are taken from lists by Abe, Basheer, Chris, George, Jochen, Kevin, Lindsay, Martin, Ralph and Tim.

Sidenote: I’ve originally asked only for betas which launched in 2006, but since most submitted lists contained older sites as well I kept them in using 0.5 pts for apps from 2005 and 0.33 pts for apps from 2004.
