The Webby Awards recognize the best and most innovative sites, campaigns, apps and more. The nominees for 2015 are in, and here’s my take on some of the most interesting new finds.

Mobile and Online Tools

• Swipes
  This task app integrates into email and other tools to keep you on track.
• Humin
  I tried the contact management app Humin and wasn’t impressed, but it’s nominated.
