With the next round of
bloggies (or web log awards for those not down with the
hip lingo), there's some concern that some types of blogs with
large communities may not be included. Specifically, communities that are well known for
tons of online events, and large
gathering places whose interactions leak in to and out from real life. So, the food bloggers (floggers?) have done what they do best, and
started their own awards - with 14 nomination categories, the results plan to, at the very least, make us all drool, if not inspire a few feasts here and there.
(and yay to mefi for winning
last year's best community blog!)

The Asia Weblog Awards ...they've garnered their fair share of
controversey concerning just what constitutes an Asia Weblog, but scoring aside, it's an interesting list of personal sites from around the region.

Du-blog-ious Achievement Awards Marc Weisblott cannot even keep from slagging
himself: “Maintained a personal blog without permalinks, archives, or even dates on the posts, thus preventing the sort of critical scrutiny he performs on others. Barely earned more money at age thirty-one than he did at twenty-one. And – oh, yes – enough of a coward to not be able to compile a Worst Blogs of 2002 list without attaching himself to the end of the list. Or is that just unadulterated self-loathing?”

One wo/man; many, many votes. From the seventh circle of hell comes the second-last sign of the apocalypse; the voting form for the bloggies. I know which site I voted for... you're reading the damn thing right now. Go MeFi!
