The Webby Awards, the Oscars for the internet, are coming up soon and Mark took the time to send me a heads up regarding the event.
Today the nominees were announced and I've been piling through some of them trying to find some standouts for all of you to check out.
A personal favorite of mine is in the Weird category on the Website ballot. Failblog.org is a website specializing in “Fails”, or pictures of hilariously stupid things with quick two word captions to convey resonance. I have wasted countless hours rolling through pictures and video offered by this site. I encourage everyone to check it out
Another decent catch is Flock.com in the Social Networking category on the Website Ballot. According to the website, Flock touts itself as a variant of Firefox that effortlessly connects you to all your favorite social networking sites via the browsers GUI. Built in publishers for sites like Twitter and Blogger are the draw here.
On the Entertainment side, Destructoid and The Escapist are nominated in the Games-Related category. Destructoid is full of witty banter and unique and engaging feature articles, and the sheer amount of specialized content coming from The Escapist is definitely worth applauding. If I spent anymore time watching Zero Punctuation, I’d be maniacal, cynical, and I’d never get anything done.
Tomorrow ill try and get some stuff up from the Online Video and Film Category of the Webby Ballot.
