Update: Nomination have now closed and the final poll is open. So cast your vote now for Freeware Product of 2011.
Here's your chance to nominate your favorite freeware product or free web service for our 2011 Freeware Product of the Year award.
This not a poll but a call for nominations.
Once we have received your nominations we will compile a list of the most nominated products and then have an open poll for the winner.
Nominations close on the 25th of December and the poll will open for voting on the 26th with the winner announced on the 31 Dec.
How to nominate your favorite freeware program or free web service
1. Check the comments below to see if your product has already been nominated.
2. If your favorite freeware product has already been nominated then you can second the nomination by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon next to the comment containing the nomination.
3. If your product hasn't been nominated then just add a comment containing the product name. Once posted, others who share your view can click the thumbs up icon on your comment to second your suggestion.
We will select the most nominated products for next week's open poll so hop in and have your say. To kick things off I've added some of the top products from last year's poll plus a few popular web services as well.

PostScript: The list of comments is getting long so I've started amalgamating duplicate suggestions, reducing longer comments to one sentence and deleting general comments.
Apologies for that but it is a necessity. Besides you'll have full opportunity to comment in the next stage of the voting.
