Award winning 2.0 sites

This Thing asked us to check out http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0 and explore some award winning 2.0 sites that are out there. I clicked on a few categories and found that most of the ones I was interested in, I had already heard of or used the award winners. I guess that means that I'm not so cutting edge, but that's not much of a surprise.

I also discovered that these sites are only as good as the users who contribute. Looking at City Guides & Reviews, http://www.yelp.com/, and Real Estate, http://www.housingmaps.com/, showed that the major cities have good coverage but it's hit or miss in other places, even in the suburbs outside of the big cities. This is a major drawback when looking for a different restaurant or choosing a house. As I've said before, many of these sites have potential but without proper execution and buy in, they end up just being time wasters instead.
