For some reason I always seem to like and support the underdog more than the popular. And there are always new services and software being released. One of the services will usually end up being popular and the one to beat while the others will fall by the wayside even if they are eventually better. Here are a list of the services/software that I use and prefer next to their popular counterparts.
- Zooomr – Flickr
- Ma.Gnolia – del.icio.us
- Django – Ruby On Rails
- Just about any other Social Network – Myspace
- OSX and Linux – Windows
- Open Office – Microsoft Office
I will add more to the list as I think of them. If you can offer any suggestions where the underdog is better than the more popular competition, please leave them in the comments. I would love to check them out.
