"I would have to say that my favorites for this year would have to go to the Web2.0 crew as a whole... take your pick, Shaun Inman, Andy Budd, etc.
The reason is that I feel this year, above all others before it, has really turned full-steam to designing for the end-user and the content. Web-based applications such as Flickr and Moveable Type as well as social networking platforms such as MySpace and Friendster have helped to bring the internet into the lives of people who were never interested or active in the web prior.
Designing for these purposes has placed more limitations and the wide adoption of CSS, AJAX and simple but functional design has led to a huge revolution in designing for the "everyman".
I feel that the internet's one flaw has always been that it has never had its own means of storytelling; now the storytelling is becoming a living account of everyones lives, and these applications and the designers that work within those outlined limits, have helped to bring this to fruition."

after marveling at their work this past year and realizing how millions upon millions of people have become affected by simple and functional GUI and design, i agree with you.
