Our last top 10 list, titled “The Top 10 Web Applications For Web Designers In 2009” proved to be very successful, with over 450 retweets! So I have compiled another 2009 top 10 list.

a great collection to sum up the year. While I do love the first release of the icon set from woothemes, I enjoyed their more recent release of icons.

I think icons in general are overused, but I’m a fan of the social media buttons.
