2011 Favorites

I haven't gotten myself into the video realm yet (maybe by 2012?), or this would have made a great "first video." Well, I'm a latecomer to YouTube, but how many of you kids are recoding your sites in HTML5 already? We're all first at something.

Some of these products were introduced in 2011, others are just products I tried for the first time in 2011. They cover the whole range: indie, drugstore, conglomerate...if it impressed me this past year it's on the list. I haven't gotten around to reviewing everything just yet, so some of these don't have full write-ups on the site...but I'm working on it!
