The Bloggies
The fifth annual Weblog Awards are scheduled to be announced in a few days. Voting is closed. Time magazine featured the Bloggies in their newly created "Blogwatch".
The Bloggies are the Web's answer to the Oscars, but this is one award show you can attend in boxers, not Bulgari. The fifth annual annual Weblog Awards, to be posted March 14 on BLOGGIES.COM, will name winners (chosen by reader votes) in 30 categories, ranging from Most Humorous to Best Designed.
I've got to say that while the site Bloggies.com says that the ceremony will be held as part of South by Southwest 'in Austin, Texas, USA on Monday, March 14 at 12:30 PM', the site itself is a little open on when the results will be posted - 'sometime between Sunday, March 13 and Tuesday, March 15'. Time magazine might still be right, but I wouldn't be a good pajamahideen if I didn't point that out. Oh well, couldn't resist it. Not in my pajamas.
The nominees include the timely, fabulous "South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami Blog". SEA-EAT has been nominated for "Best non-weblog content of a weblog site", "Best topical weblog", "Best new weblog" and also for the title of "Weblog of the year"! I know that Suhit, one of our readers, has been associated with at least one of the tsunami blogs. There are some other familiar names at SEA-EAT as well (Sakreha). The SEA EAT bloggers put together a great site in double-quick time in the days following the tsunami. Here is wishing all the tsunami bloggers the very best!
