This just handed to me via an undisclosed private source.
Due to the obvious snubbing of "real" blogs being finalists in the recent Weblog Awards 2004, it has been announced that a new award is being developed at the grass roots level.
The BoB as it is called (Best of Blogs) has sponsorship and will only be awarded to blogs not having to do with politics. The BoB Awards 2004 will be unveiled very soon. STAY TUNED.
Spread the word, and get ready for your nominations....
Good. I was more than annoyed at the fact that almost all the nominees were political ANd that I hadn't heard of 90 percent of the blogs nominated.
I was wondering about the political slant for all those blog nominations.
I love when Blog Explosion lands me on a blog I know :)
Happy Friday, Genuine, and if you're nominated for anything be sure to broadcast it so I can vote for ya!
So, if we are voting for blogs, doesn't that make it political? So in order to avoid politcal blogs we have a political election to take a stand against political overload in the blog awards?
Geeez, now I'm all confused. Oh the presssssure! Can I just go ahead and win Best Coffee Drinking Mom Writer Blog with Red Hair and be done with it?
Wow!
This sounds really really great, Jim!
Does that mean I have a chance to win to, or am I to stupid?
Good news, Gen. I am so glad to see that I am not the only blogger confused by the selections of the (Wizbang) Weblog winners. I'll stay tuned....
Hallelujah! There were only a handful of categories that I was interested in over there. Great, great idea.
if you're nominated for anything be sure to broadcast it so I can vote for ya!
Are you kidding? You know he'll be whoring hist nomination something fierce! ;)
Is there any possibility it could be called BoW instead?
BoB has scary memories for me. Seriously.
Besides, if you use BoW, some graphics person can create a smashing bow graphic to go with it :-) Much more spiffy than BoB.
Just my two cents.
I looked at that list... If there's any question as to how biased it is, simply look at the fact that all the journalist blogs listed are in the ecosystem
Please keep us posted on the BOBs.
I'd just like to say that my blog was nominated in the best humor category and although you may not have heard much about it, I am far from political in any way, shape or form.
I'd like to feel I represent the little guy out in blog world although I am getting my ass kicked by those bigger badder right wing left wing braveheart battles.
I think your awards are great and I hope more bloggers host their own little independent awards far away from that other crap.
