Well, the top ten as chosen by Veronica Belmont, in an interview with the social network watchers at Mashable.

1. Brightkite
2. Dropbox
3. Pownce
4. Remember The Milk
   
5. Friendfeed
6. Rupture
7. Trulia
8. Downforeveryoneorjustme.com
9. Qik
10. Seesmic 

I'll let you read Mashable's post to see Belmont's reasons for selecting each application - while I set myself a reminder to check this list again in six months to see what panned out and what simply was panned.

Anyone tried any of these apps yet? Other suggestions that didn't make the list?
Post a comment and/or link for us. Thanks.
