Ok, so, the awards are really just a stupid popularity contest, and i don’t think anyone is disputing that. But, honestly, the best content does not lie within the most popular blogs. Without naming any names (and believe me, that’s not easy for me to do), many of the most recognized blogs are complete and utter tripe with no engaging writing or humor or anything that makes for a fun read. Will these people be nominated? Sure! Will they win? According to Matt, their popularity statistically ensures their win even if nominated against less popular and more deserving opponents.
The way to make this all interesting is to not vote for those insanely omnipresent popular weblogs. I call it my Nader Theory of Weblogs: some of the big names are a clear choice for some of their eligible categories, but for some of them (best blog of the year, best blogger.com blog) you know they’ll get nominated by someone else, so you can afford to pencil in your alternate favourites. So, i implore you, Go!, wreak havoc on the voting process!
krisis: go and nominate me!
sus: ill nominate you for best gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered weblog
Actually, i’m eligible for best tagline of a weblog (Yearns, burns, and other concerns.), best non-weblog content of a weblog site (Trio @ Crushing Krisis), best-designed weblog, most humorous weblog, best blogger-powered weblog, best-kept-secret weblog, best new weblog, & best weblog overall. I’d especially like to see Trio get nominated, because it’s what i really work on and care about. More comprehensive coverage soon to come! Thanx!
Wow, that was totally incoherent and i think it speaks more about the condition i was in before heading to sleep than it does about the inner depths of my psyche. Except all the flying… that’s all about my psyche. I would skip it if i were you… in hindsight it was a bit more incoherent than i remembered it being.
If i stopped blogging about all the things i needed to clean up, i could probably get them clean. In fact… generally whatever i’m whining about could be fixed simply by replacing the whine-time with some action. … So… don’t expect a change in the level of whininess or anything, i’m just mentioning it, that’s all.
