We're thrilled to have been nominated once again this year by the Webby's, in the category of Business Blog. Fellow nominees are New York Times DealBook, Huffington Post Business, TechCrunch and The Consumerist. We hope to take the award home again this year in the face of such outstanding competition.
There are noteworthy nominees across all categories. Hootsuite (Social Media), Twitter (Community) and Foursquare (Best Use of GPS/Location Technology) were all winners in our own 2010 Mashable Awards. So was the "Bed Intruder Song" (Viral Video), without which no discussion of the web in the past year would be complete. And there's a ton of other great Webby nominees.
Among our other favorites are:
Vogue, in the Magazine category, which had an exceptional website redesign in 2010.
We've written a lot, as you may have noticed, about the innovative Old Spice campaigns. It's good to see them be recognized in multiple categories (Use of Social Media, Integrated Campaigns, and Viral Marketing).
From our partner CNN iReport, this "A Walk in Our Shoes" video is an inspiring, innovative mash-up of user generated content.
Make sure you check out Ben the Bodyguard (Best Home/Welcome Page), for its innovative design.
And from our Social Good channel, take a look at Conservation International and Amnesty International (Activism Website) -- both excellent examples of non-profit organizations making a splash online.
The Webby Awards will honor each category twice -- once with the People's Voice Award, once with the Webby as chosen by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. The awards gala takes place June 13 in New York City.
We'd be honored if you took time to vote for us today.
