2006 Weblog Awards - my picks

By clock on December 7, 2006.

2006 Weblog Awards finals are now open for voting. The main menu is here. You can vote once per 24 hours over the next 10 days.

You can go directly to the Best Science Blog category and...good luck! Is there a science blog on the list anyone can NOT like?

Medical Blogs? Orac? Cheerful Oncologist? Again, a tough choice.

How about the Best Educational Blog? Berube? Education Wonks? Hard to choose.

Best Blog? Yuk! What horrendous choices! Only DailyKos deserves a vote from the whole list. When are Koufaxes starting?

Best New Blog - I only know (and like) Konagod.

Best Individual Blog. My first vote went to Majikthise. I'll see later when it gets tough which of the good ones (Majikthise, Glenn Greenwald or Talking Points Memo) has the greatest chance to beat the Rightwingers.

Best Humor Blog - Jon Swift or Sadly, No?

Online Community. DailyKos again?!

Best Liberal Blog - again a cornucopia of goodness. Who shall I choose? Shakespeare's Sister? Pandagon? My blogfather of Legal Fiction? Hullaballoo, Bitch PhD, Jesus' General are also on top of my list. Hard to pick a favourite at this point.

Best Media Blog. Wolcott hands down.

LGBT Blog. Pam's House Blend hands down.

Culture Blog - Tom Watson.

Best Podcast - This American Life.

Video Blog - Crooks and Liars.

Video of the Year - Mentos and Diet Coke.

Best European Blog. Fistful of Euros.

Australian/NZ Blog - John Quiggin.

Top 250: Orcinus or Feministe.

Top 3501 - 5000 Blogs - Blue Gal.

Best Of The Rest - Property of a Lady.

There are many more categories but I do not know (or do not like) anyone on the list.

Have I missed someone really good?

Weblog Awards 2007
Yes, Weblog Awards are up again. Not everyone's favourite (as opposed to the Koufaxes), as they are easily freeped and one can find candidates who should not be there, i.e., blogs that have not written anything factual in years, e.g., right-wingers in political categories, pseudoscientists in…
Ready for the Koufaxes yet?
Now that the 2006 Weblog Awards are over (and congratulations to all of my favourites for wins or good showing), we are all warmed up and ready for the Real Deal - the Koufaxes! First, and most importantly, go over to Wampum and hit their PayPal button (on the left top side-bar), or their Amazon.…
Amanda and Shakes rock!
[Placed on top for updates...] I think that the whole brouhaha that the extreme wingers are raising about new Edwards bloggers will have a) no effect on Democratic primary voters a year from now, b) no effect on national voters two years from now, and c) negative effect on the wingnutosphere as…
A few suggestions for the Weblog Awards
Go vote! These are my choices, and you all should follow your own consciences. Best individual blogger: I vote for Lindsay. Best blog: I vote for Raw Story (yeesh, but this category is stocked with some really awful right wing crap). Best comic strip: I vote for xkcd, of course. Best online…
