In response to my previous post about MakeUseOf’s Directory is definitely a Web 2.0 application directory competitor, I have compiled (after several hours of weeding various ‘directories’ out) my comprehensive list of 10 other Web 2.0 application directories.
- SimpleSpark - Well maintained and informative lists, also lists competitor options for each app.
- KillerStartups - Digg like features, thorough analysis, polls, screenshots and more.
- Go2Web2.0 - Mass logo layout with brief descriptions, Search function and Tag Cloud.
- All Things Web 2.0 - Sorted by user ratings with short descriptions, well categorized.
- NeoBinaries - Massive lists with community ratings and reviews.
- FeedMyApp - Categorized thumbnail screenshots, with only minimal description.
- Listio’s Everything Web 2.0 - Sort by tags, votes, brief descriptions.
- ReflexZ’s Applications - Small list, voting, medium descriptions.
- The Web 2.0 Directory - Categorized, comprehensive, short descriptions.
- Web 2.0 List - Sort by tags, brief descriptions.
That’s about… Are you aware of any other Web 2.0 website directories that didn’t make the list. Let us know in comments. Thanks in advance.

Hey Adam, nice round-up. I think you got all of the good ones. I carefully examined several of them before implementing our own directory. I would say our directory doesn’t looks as beautiful as most of them but it has several features that make it standout and hopefully will serve as factor to putting us in the leading position. The are:
- all MakeUseOf descriptions are unique, short and to the point.
- ability to browse directory by tags
- separate top level category for Mobile tools
- all listed tools are either free or come with free account option.
- (to come) enable users to edit descriptions
- (to come) enable users to mark tools as ‘I am using it’
I just found one cool web 2.0 directory.
