Upvote your favorite in each category, or add it if it isn't there already. Bonus points for adding a link to relevant website or info. Add discussions on why or why not as replies.
Check to see if your entry is already listed, then upvote it rather than adding it again. Duplicate entries will be removed. Only one nomination per comment, so if you have multiple suggestions in a category make multiple comments. All nominations should be replies to the category so people can see them easily.
Feel free to submit your own category as a top-level comment (limit 1 per comment), or just upvote the things you like! Feel free to discuss the nominations but only direct replies to each category will be counted as votes.
This is a [Serious] post, so jokes as entries will be removed.
