"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."

The Weblog Awards is the world's largest blog competition, with over 1 million votes cast in the last three years for nearly 1,000 blogs.
The master list of nomination posts can be found here, or you can use this entry to navigate to the nomination posts for the 46 categories. The big change for 2006 is the addition of several new categories and the reduction in the number of finalists. Most categories will have only 10 finalists, as opposed to the 15 selected in 2005. Incidentally, I support this reduction in finalists, since on those occasions when I am nominated (so far, only in odd-numbered years) I tend to finish between 11th and 15th. Where's the category for Best Comments on a Blog? Huh. The comments don't matter, do they? Yeah, EXCEPT WHEN YOU DON'T GET ANY. I think all the blog commenters should go on strike. Then we'll see what's what. Posted by: Mister Snitch! at 7:51 PM on 14 November 2006On the nomination site I came across this: "In some cases the list of finalists may contain sites not publically nominated." Then what's the point in nominating anybody? The people who run the competition can just give awards to *their* favorite blogs and just be done with it. Posted by: sya at 8:07 PM on 15 November 2006Putting the best possible spin on this, they perhaps want to make sure they have ten finalists in each category, just in case there aren't enough nominations from, say, Best Random DNA Sequence As Determined By TTLB. I try not to take these things too seriously. |
