Yearly round up

I have said I’d write more of my best of the year things as it seems to be some virus like tradition amongst blogs. So I will go baa a bit while I just post a bit of my web related yearly highlights.
Blogs of the year :
Avalonstar
Joshua Ink
Whitespace
SimpleBits
Molly

Websites of the year (basically any website I just happen to have used a lot and also liked this year)
Stylegala
Alistapart
CSS Reboot
Istock Photo

Online API and utilites of the year :
del.icio.us
rojo
riffs
flickr

Well, that is it from my round up of the year. With under 2 hours to go GMT until 2006 I hold onto tight the dream that the words Web and 2.0 will no longer be uttered in the new year and that everyone will keep pushing the boundaries of the net without feeling the need to tie it up in marketing jargon and offer it to PR companies to hail as the new black. Happy New Year everyone.
