The Finalists are:
Polls close Tuesday January 13, 2009 at 10:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is 5:00 p.m. (EST) and 2:00 p.m. (PST).
When sites are nominated for these, they get vicious. A few years ago, my blog was nominated in the best educational blog category, almost immediately, there where a lot of digg and technrati bashes on my site that made no sense and I had a lot of hacking attempts.. people really do make a big deal out of these. Luckily, I didn’t give a darn.
What’s up with that? You gonna let a bunch of loony victim-playing crybabies, sanctimonious Code Pink-worshipping moonbats,
godless flag-burning surrender monkeys, out-of-control abortion-promoting tree huggers, and bedwetting values-perverting hypocrites ruin your weblog?
It was educational, not political, so I had a bunch of Indian outsourcing companies and college professors wanting the attention and hits (ie advertising/customer revenue).. A lot of folks really fight for the ad revenue and winning a Webby can shoot your hits up through the roof. I didn’t care and actually canceled Google AdSense after they started harassing me as getting too popular and thinking I was manipulating them (even though I never requested a check for built up commissions nor cared about it..)
