National Public Radio (NPR) in the U.S. have announced their "Top Web Gadgets of 2007" ... the winners are Joomla and Drupal!

Everywhere you go nowadays, these two projects seem to be paired together as the leading lights of Open Source website software.

NPR's reasoning was:

"In 2007, many of the coolest new gizmos don't cost a thing.

Joomla and Drupal are two free, open-source software platforms that let anybody create incredibly complex Internet sites on their own.

You can make your own powerful and sophisticated discussion group, auction site, wiki, online magazine — or whatever else you can dream up — using relatively simple tools. Both have been around a while but became far more mature and easy to use in 2007."

The choice was made by Adam Davidson, NPR's International Business and Economics Correspondent.
