It is that site's 10 favorite apps. There are much more popular apps built in the hub that aren't on the list and ones that have grossed a lot more money than anything on that list.
'Top' isn't specific. It might mean most downloaded, generating the most revenue, or as in this case, those selected by some arbiter as the best. (And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we fight pedantry with pedantry.)
The point about Connected Bits is more interesting - hadn't known they were over the border in Nashua. Of course, that's because the Menino administration's press release touted them as "the local engineering firm that built the application," and their own web site begins by describing them as "a Boston-area software company." All true, but misleading.
First off DunkinRun is a terrible and useless app.
One of my co-workers is a part-time iPhone developer. He made a Portal-like app called V is for Vortex and also a fun zombie game called Z is for Zombie.
Both I think are better than some on this list.
I didn't know RunKeeper is a Boston based company. That app is very nicely done and the online component and tracking is great for runners.
What about some of the mbta related apps? I know I use mbta alerts all the time for push notifications of alerts. Catch that bus (?) seems like a good use of the real time XML feed, if only the mbta would release more buses, and at one point actual trains, crosses fingers.

If I recall correctly, the #4 app, "Citizens Connect," was developed by a New Hampshire company.
Eh, close enough, I guess.
