We need to say goodbye to year 2007 and welcome year 2008 in a few days time. And it’s at this time of the year, lots of top 10 and best of the Internet lists start to appear. The editors of Download.com has also come up a list of the top 10 downloads of 2007 on their DownloadBlog – The Daily Download. You don’t know they also have a blog?! Perhaps from now on, you should subscribe to their RSS to get updated on what to download everyday!

Let me share a few of those that I like best from the list. The software below are in no particular preference or ranking order.

In less than a week’s time we are going to bid year 2007 farewell. But, before that let’s check out Forbes.com’s The Web Celeb 25 which lists the most popular web celebrities for 2007. On top of the list is none other than gossip blogger with a poison “pen”, Perez Hilton.

Perez’s blog is hugely popular. His posts are usually delivered with an irreverent, tongue-in-cheek and sometimes even cruel slant. He often posts tabloid photographs over which he has added his own rude captions or “doodles”. This make other celebrities hate and love him at the same time! Haha!

But for an upcoming Malaysia Problogger, I always keep an eye on the latest offerings from gadget stores such as Harvey Norman.
