The Social Networking Awards are sponsored by Photobucket. If you have a social site, you can use Photobucket's JWidget tool - this is a free plugin that provides image and video hosting for your users.
As you've probably guessed, we're not going to get the voting wrapped up by the end of today, so we're extending the awards until Friday evening PST. I'm going to put up posts for all the remaining categories between now and then so you can get your votes in.
Next up for voting: video! To vote for your favorite video-sharing site, put the word "VOTE" followed by your choice in the comments. You can only choose from the nominees listed below. And if you haven't already voted for your favorite mainstream social network, startpage and sporting social network, don't forget to do so. If you work for one of the video sites that's been nominated, there are buttons at the bottom of this page to add to your company blog.
The Rules
What you CAN do: You can ask your site's users to vote for you. And if you're a user of a particular site and you want that service to win, you can also share the buttons and links with your friends.
What you CAN'T do: Any individual can't vote more than once. It's smart to enter a genuine email address, since we're logging IP addresses and locations - if we see any suspicious voting, we'll send a friendly email to check that the vote is bona fide. If any company is found to be cheating, they'll be excluded from the competition.
The Nominees
Where available, the site name links to a more detailed review on Mashable. Please note that Pickle.com will be listed in the photo sharing category, while Stickam will be in the Widgets and Add-Ons category. MyZine was excluded on content grounds.
