Speaking of Best Poker Blogs
Posted by Bill @ 2:48 amIf you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I posted earlier this month about the Bloggies nominations and unsurprisingly, not a single poker blog was nominted. Of course, go fug yourself, a site devoted to mocking celebrities, was nominated for three. Not to take anything away from go fug yourself, but Best American Weblog, Best Entertainment Weblog, and Best Writing of a Weblog? I’m going to go out on a limb here and speculate that the entire universe of blogs wasn’t up for consideration if one blog can win three nominations.

April added these pithy words on Jan 24 06 at 7:50 pmAs a former Bloggies panelist, I can tell you that what happens is there are thousands of nominations put in for each category, then the categories are split up and sent out to the various panel members. Each member is receiving hundreds of links from which to select their top 5 or so. I can guarantee you many people are just looking for the URLs they recognize, and then pushing those through. I made an effort to actually visit and evaluate the sites I had, and found some that I really enjoyed. But I’m betting that most people don’t do that, because as we know, there is a lot of crap out there and at a certain point you just get sick of looking at it all. Only the biggest blog junkie would take the time to look at them all.
The awards have always had a “wtf??” kind of element to them, but I see that this year it’s even worse. There is an mp3 blog up for Best Teen Blog and another for Best Writing. Uhhh….ok. And Cute Overload as blog of the year? I get the feeling there were a lot of teenage girls on the panel this year…
