Top 10 Underhyped Webapps

Got to love these webapps!

I left 2 out of the 10 top list, but you can just click on the original post.

1. The Aviary suite

Aviary is a webapp maker that specializes in fully-featured Flash apps, and they’re seemingly engaged in a dare to see how much users can get done entirely in a browser.
