swiss blog awards: prognostic wank1 min read

i raked my brain trying to come up with a cleverer form for predictions than hannes gassert’s Swiss Blog Awards: Who to win, what to vote.
but i couldn’t. i hereby surrender to the supreme brainpower that is hannes “heulsusilover” gassert.

the nominations are on. so here’s my 2 cents.

Category: Best Swiss Blog

Winner: a tie between Leumund & Blogging Tom
Reason: polemics and scoops make for clickfarms par excellence
Vote for: Pasta and Vinegar [yeah hannes, sorry to say, we agree there]
Why: smart, witty, uptodate, concise, thematically totally my bag – and ever since i’ve seen it i am tempted to copy his “why i blog this” feature.

Category: Multimedia

Winner: Starfrosch.
Reason: top of the podcast sometimes is not half bad. funny always. or: shameless self-promotion pays.
Vote for: Pieceocast 😉 [i knowwww, i’m not even available for nominations. grml]
Why: because my squirrel-slaves make them silly mixes

Category: Rookie

Winner: Blogging Tom again
Reason: lets not forget he IS a rookie … and he did dig up that one scoop about eypo
Vote for: i dont know yet, watch this space
Why: i was tempted to say Tom Kummer, but 1. of all this would be another shameless selfpromotion in disguise and 2. he does not blog enough. but when he does, mang, when he does …

disclaimer: i am part of the organising comitee of the Swiss Blog Awards. and usually such a post would be inadmissable. but uncoventional media allows for unconventional methods.
the views expressed here are my personal opinions and they in no way represent the view of the organising comittee nor will they influence the output of the awards in any way.

  1. The whole thing was irony from start to finish. That’s what I do. You couldn’t be expected to know that. If you were offended by it then I apologise, that was never the intention. I certainly didn’t expect anyone to take one piece of it, and remove it from the context of the
    whole, and use it as a comment.

    This would be easier to discuss over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine but given our geographic locations that isn’t possible. I feel worse about all this given the subject matter of your most recent post.

    actually. my software is to blame for that. as you linked to this post, it quotes a part of it here. and no sweat at all. i dig irony.
