Today, we're launching our second annual Web 2.0 Awards. Only a month after we'd intended on launching (SES New York and that pesky "real work" stuff kept getting in the way), we've finally collected, collated and presented just under 300 sites in forty-one categories.

That has changed dramatically, but up to last year or so ago the free site searches provided by Yahoo and Google were less than ideal.
