The 2011 App of the Year

LastPass is the 40Tech community’s choice for 2011 App of the Year. After almost a week of voting, LastPass outdistanced the second place finisher, Springpad, by over 250 votes. If we had voted ourselves, LastPass would have merited strong consideration. As a convenient and secure password manager, it is one of a handful of apps that the 40Tech team uses on a daily basis. One of the earliest posts we wrote, and still one of our most popular, was a comparison between LastPass, KeePass, and eWallet, with LastPass coming out on top as our favorite password manager. LastPass fared just as well when we put it through the paces against 1Password. Do you use LastPass? Read more

Cast Your Vote for the 2011 App of the Year

Last week, we asked for nominations to add to our list of contenders for 40Tech App of the Year. We received some good suggestions, and thought of several on our own. We did debate whether to include lesser-know submissions, and also whether the official apps for services like Facebook and Google+ constitute “apps.” In the end, we opened the floodgates, and added them all to the list. Cast your vote below for your choice of App of the Year. As with the nominations, the definition of “app of the year” is what you make of it. It could be an app that you found to be the most enjoyable, most helpful, most innovative – whatever you think made something your favorite in 2011.

The poll will remain open until noon EST on Tuesday, January 2. We’ll come back after that with the results. Here are the choices.

[Reader Survey] Do You Like Your Apps In the Cloud Or On the Desktop?

cloud

We write about the cloud quite a bit here at 40Tech. We’ve covered online word processors, options for free cloud storage, how to solve some of the risks of cloud computing, and several cloud-based task managers and productivity tools. In other words, we love cloud computing. But . . . lately I’ve started to appreciate the speed and elegance of a few desktop apps, and have started looking for desktop versions of some apps.

The Results Are In — And We Love You For It!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our awesome two-question survey last week — we got a pretty decent sample and are excited by the results! We discovered that, overall, we are generally talking to the more wise or wizened among us, but there is also a healthy dose of youthfulness about. It just goes to show that good content rises above age barriers (whether perceived or otherwise); and we love that you guys and gals find us to be worth your time to read.

This information has been invaluable for our pending redesign. Not to worry tried and true’s: we are keeping the same great content — but it will be presented to you in a clearer, cleaner and (hopefully) even more inviting way. We plan to bring you more great stuff more often, too, so if you’re interested in writing for 40Tech, let us try you out with a guest post or two!

Thanks again — and virtual cookies for all!
