I had a thought last night about the best and worst things of 2007 – techy/webby/internetty/gadgetry wise of course. But, since I want to be all positive at the start of 2008 I’m going to leave out the bad stuff. So, here’s my list…

Best Purchase – My 20″ iMac

Best Social Networking/Interacting Site – You can forget your Facebook’s and MySpace, my vote goes to Twitter

Best Application – Okay, so I can’t decide on just one since 2007 has seen me using several great apps, so here’s my top 3: Twitterrific, Skitch and Picturesque.

Best Customer Support – I’m going to go jointly with Invision Power Board and o2 Broadband. IPB support replied to one of my support tickets in literally just 2 minutes last month. They are always quick, friendly and helpful but that was record breaking support. Been a IPB client for 5 years now and I don’t see that changing anytime soon with customer care like that :) o2 Broadband, as I’ve undoubtedly mentioned before, are friendly and helpful which for me is quite refreshing since I came from the awful BT Broadband where support wasn’t their strongest point ;)

Best Discovery – Family Guy. I watched a couple of episodes early last February and by the end of the month I’d collected the whole series on DVD :shock: For some reason I’d never bothered with FG before but it’s overtaken The Simpsons as my favourite animated TV show (incidentally, I know I wasn’t going to mention worst things here but just a word of warning: if you were thinking of watching/buying The Simpsons Movie, don’t. Woof.)

2007 was a pretty good year for buying the toys I wanted. I think I had far more willpower last year for saving my money than I had the year previously. The beginning of 2008 is going to require a little more of that willpower as Macworld 2008 is approaching. I have no idea what goodies are going to be announced and I sure as hell don’t need another computer for a looong time but it’s nice to have the option and the funds if something special (and much needed) did come along. Since it’s just two weeks away then I think I can hold off buying that digital camera until the Stevenote is over. I’d like to see a tablet Mac sometime in 2008, but I’m hoping Uncle Steve has the decency to wait until my iMac is at least 12 months old so I can justify the purchase ;)

Happy New Year!
