The Web 2.0 era is now in full force and some Web 2.0 sites are already very well established. Sites like Digg, Flicker and Facebook are leading the Internet in traffic and show no signs of slowing down. There are many more unique and helpful Web 2.0 sites out there still trying to make it to the top. We decided to compile a list of the top 5 up and coming Web 2.0 sites we use everyday that aren’t quite on the top yet, but well on their way.
