Award Season
Yes it’s that time of year again, time for one of the found-content blogs I work on to get nominated as a finalists for the Best Blog SXSW Webaward. Ok, really this has only happened once before, but it was last year, and we ended up winning. If this trend continues I am obviously destined to become a blog publishing mogul, but for now I remain completely focused on finishing my PhD. Honest. I totally have my thesis proposal open right now in TextMate.
Update: I forgot the obligatory solicitation for votes. Voting, however, is only for the coveted People’s Choice Award. The winner of the Best Blog Award is selected by a well-credentialed team of internet experts, and rightly so.
Update 2: SXSW was a blast, but sadly, Postcards lost to The Bygone Bureau. I’m not actually familiar with this site, but the two guys who went up on stage and accepted the award struck me as entertaining.
In other news, Passive-Aggressive Notes lost to I Can Has Cheezburger in the 2009 Bloggies, although it was competing in the highly questionable “Best Community Weblog” category.
More on SXSW to come.
