01/07/2004 04:47 PMSo the weblog competition that I don't tend to get stroppy
about is back and what a relief it is after all that Guardian
rigmarole to have a nice award that's nominated and voted for by
members of the weblogging community itself and that vaguely reflects
the culture and interests of that community. Yay! As we'd say over at
Secret Santa,
"Everyone gets a present! Everyone's happy!" Because the Bloggies have returned!
There are some interesting shifts in the categories this year -
Nikolai sent around an e-mail earlier in the year to see if he could
improve them still further, and I'm delighted to say that this year
there is no longer a combined "Europe and Africa" category, and that
instead there are separate categories for Africa and the Middle East,
The UK and Ireland and continental Europe.
In order to jog a few minds I'm going to make my usual yearly
reminder of some particularly good sites that I've seen around the
place which I think might deserve a mention. Feel free to ignore as
you will, but these are likely to be on my initial ballot sheet.
If you're looking for some good Aus/NZ blogs, then I can heartily
recommend Loobylu, Brainsluice and Captainfez.com. For
African/Middle-Eastern, I think I'm going to go with the obvious and
cast my vote for Salam
Pax, who has been the iconic weblogger of the year, at the heart
of the largest news story of the year, and has been always honest,
open and personal. For Best British/Irish, I can't recommend CityofSound enough, and it's not
because Dan's my employer or because we had a row and I feel guilty
about it. Genuinely fascinating, well-written stuff. And for the
European award, you wouldn't go far wrong putting your pebble in the
Tesugen urn when you're
voting.
In the topic-based categories, I'd like to recommend Coolfer, chachacha.co.uk and
Share the Music - all of which I check up on regularly and find
illuminating and passionate. The Best Political weblog will inevitably
go to some foul warblogger, but I'd like to point you in the direction
of the very British PolitX.
In terms of the best gay weblog (always one of the hardest fought
categories), I'm going to have to try and persuade you all to read trash addict more than you
do. Otherwise, any of the classics would do nicely: Ernie, Bart or Sparky all come with the highest
of recommendations. Best Group should (and probably will) go to Boing Boing and best community to
either Slashdot, or Metafilter.
As for myself - I pretty much think I've done my thing with regard
to these awards enough times already. But that doesn't mean that I'd
be exactly upset if you decided to nominate plasticbag.org for
Best British or Irish Weblog, or best GLBT weblog. One thing I would
really like though (because I think it's one of the best things
I've written in a while) is for people to bear in mind (Weblogs and) The Mass
Amateurisation of (Nearly) Everything when they're looking to
nominate for the Best Article or Essay about Weblogs category.
Weirdly, it's one of the things I've done this year that I'm genuinely
proud of (despite all its clumsiness and deeply dodgy turns of phrase)
and I'd genuinely like more responses to it.

BB up for four Bloggies
BB up for four Bloggies
01/19/2004 01:55 PMThe Bloggie nominations are up -- Boing Boing is eligible for Best
Group Blog, Best American Blog, Best Tech Blog and Blog of the Year.

01/19/2004 11:48 AMThe nominations for The Bloggies are out, and I'm shortlisted. Crumbs!
Go over there and give us a vote - and give a Onlineblog, Belle de
Jour and Tom Coates a click of the button too. And now, to plan...
On the Bloggies...
On the Bloggies...
01/22/2004 02:14 AMSo the nominations for the the
Bloggies are now up and I would encourage everyone to go and
explore some of the weblogs that have been short-listed. For good or
ill, quite a lot of the old crew have ended up on the nominations
again this year, with plasticbag.org surprising me a bit by
being up for four categories. Evidently there's still a bit of life in
the old blog yet. If you want to vote for it, then it's represented in
the Best British or Irish and Best GLBT weblog categories and to my
delight Weblogs and the Mass
Amateurisation of Nearly Everything has a shot in the Best Article
or Essay about Weblogs category (weirdly opposite Rebecca Blood's
classic Weblogs,
A History and Perspective which actually already won the award a
couple of years ago).
Now despite my reputation for being a complete kill-joy when it
comes to weblog competitions, I actually have a bit of a soft-spot for
the Bloggies. I'm not going to go into too much detail about why I
like them (big argument here) but - in a nutshell - it's because they're
part of the weblogging ecosystem and treat it with respect, they don't
take themselves too seriously and most importantly, because they are
open to everyone to participate in, vote in and nominate for. There's
something nice - honourable, even - about nominating someone else for
an award that they'd never put themselves in for but eminently
deserve. And it's fun being able (at this stage) point to some of the
new sites that I've discovered as a result of the nominations process
and which I plan to read more often. So - from the nominations list -
here are some sites (old and new) that have given me particular
pleasure today:
PS. When does the gay mudslinging start? Because that's the best
bit.
Old news: Bloggies...
Old news: Bloggies...
01/04/2005 09:00 PMWhat else is going on? Er... Well, The Bloggies are up for
nominations again - of all the weblog awards these are the ones that I
think most accurately reflect the community that I know and
understand, even though I'm a bit fatigued by even these least dodgy
and most attractively low-key of community awardages.
Normally I would be standing up here and making a passionate case
for why I deserved to be queen of blogworldia this year, because it's
fun to be queen, it's trivial as all buggery and because certain
categories are basically really fun to be nominated in (the gay
category is always a shit-flinging bitchfight to the death, even
though Ernie always
wins it each and every year. Realistically, though, I'm not sure that
I could stand up and say hand-on-heart that my site's been terribly
interesting or useful or fun this year. I think work's kind of
colonised my life a bit and my site's suffered. But nonetheless, if
you've taken a few too many diet pills this evening and are feeling
particularly buzzy in the mind, then you could always nominate
plasticbag.org for 'Best British or Irish Weblog', 'Best
Computers and Technology Weblog', 'Best weblog written by a gayer' or
whatever. Lifetime achievement would be nice too, except realistically
someone needs to give that one to Haughey or Blood already....
To be honest, if there's any value in these competitions whatsoever
it's in weblog discovery - helping people out there find some new
unexpectedly awesome people to read about, interact with and hang out
with online. So whether or not you want to participate in the damn
thing, can I recommend at the very least you go and acquaint
yourselves with some of the following sites and services:

On the Geography of the Bloggies...
On the Geography of the Bloggies...
12/07/2003 08:15 AMSoon it will be time for the annual Bloggies - the weblog equivalent of
the Oscars (voted for by the community that makes them, heavily
slanted towards blockbuster-sites that get bums on seats, vaguely
ridiculous and highly entertaining). The best mock fights are always
around the Best Poof category (which I won once a long, long time
ago), particularly when Sparky or Eric are in the game.
This year - however - I will be heavily promoting Trash Addict for that
particular dubious honour.
Anyway, the standard debate around categories will start emerging
shortly, so I just thought I'd get my thoughts in on the localisation
issues quickly and early and see what people thought. Currently
they're organised roughly like this:
- Best Asian
- Best American
- Best Antipodean (Australia and New Zealand)
- Best Canadian
- Best European / African
- Best Latin American
There seem to be a few problems with his grouping to me - firstly
there's no category for the Middle East, and I think this year that's
going to be a more obvious omission than ever given Salam Pax and all the
webloggers around Iraq and Israel. Secondly, having separate
categories for Antipodean, Canadian and American weblogs, but not one
for British/Irish ones seems rather random considering that both
Canada and Australia/NZ have much smaller populations in general and
smaller weblogging communities in particular than the UK and Ireland.
And finally, the grouping of Europe with Africa seems to make the
possibility of Africa weblogs becoming seen rather unlikely. So here's
my proposed reworking:
- Best American or Canadian
- Best British or Irish
- Best Australian or New Zealand
- Best African
- Best Asian / Far Eastern
- Best European (non UK/Ireland)
- Best Latin American
- Best Middle Eastern
It's two more categories than last year, but it seems more
convincing to me. Any thoughts / contributions / suggestions /
improvements / comments?

02/05/2005 10:17 PMToday is the final day of voting in the 2005 Bloggie awards, for
which we are nominated in the 'Best Computers or Technology Weblog'
category. We're really appreciate it if you'd take 60 seconds and give
us a vote (about 2/3 of the way down, on the right). We know we've had
our problems, like the time we walked in on you with the sock, but we
really hope you can put that behind and help us out.
Plus some crazy people decided to offer a whole bunch of prizes in
our category and I'd like to have them all for myself. Seriously! It
just takes a second (you don't have to vote in every category if you
don't want to).

03/14/2005 05:29 PMXeni Jardin:
Boing Boing pal
Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won
Group Weblog of the Year at the
Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly
didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were
many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who
work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in
their honor:
check 'em all
out. On behalf of my blog-mates
Cory Doctorow,
Mark Frauenfelder, and
David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager"
John Battelle; our sysadmin
par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended
family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most
of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise
productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and
for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered
things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to
SXSW in person to accept the award,
but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at
ETCON (
all five of us will be in the same place for the first time).
Boing Boing sprouted online a little over
five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder
and
Carla
Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look
forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come.

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley
sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the
year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping
track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these
two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're
speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.
