Blogger’s Choice Awards
April 14th, 2007 by Michael Kwan
Movies have the Oscars, television has the Emmys, but what about the fastest growing segment of the media? Blogging was once the realm of emotionally-charged discharges, and while some blogs still do that, many more are out to make a buck or two while they’re at it. Some have even gone so far as to blog solely for money and not for the love of the written word, the love for personal expression. Those, of course, never become popular. With so many blogs out there, it can be hard to find the absolute best (of course, Beyond the Rhetoric should rank near the top, right?). There are well-known blogs that aren’t very good, and then there are very good blogs that no one seems to know about. It’s time to let the latter shine through the recently launched Blogger’s Choice Awards. On their website, you can vote for the best blog in a number of different categories, like best celebrity blogger, best food blog, best podcast, and even something as obscure as hottest mommy blogger. Yes, vote for your favorite milf. I recognize some of the names on the list. Kumiko Suzuki, for example, was nominated for the Blogitzer (blog’s spin on the Pulitzer), an award given to the “blogger who demonstrates the best writing ability.” Too bad there wasn’t a category for “best use of pink.” Another notable nominee is Gdog of The Daily Kimchi, who was nominated for best travel blog. Unlike other bloggers out there, I’m not going to nominate myself. Instead, I’ll leave it up to you, my audience, to determine if I should get nominated for something. Voting is on between now and 11:59 p.m. on May 22. Winners will be officially announced at PostieCon in June.

Dammit! I just wrote about this the other day and they’re now they’re paying people to do it!
Kumiko
Just find the opp on PPP and submit your existing post. You just have to add the disclosure badge at the bottom. (I did this once for one of my older articles haha)
Double Dammit! I just wrote a new post and submitted it to PPP!
AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
I just wrote an article on this too. Its my second PPP ever!!! woo0t!!
Thanks for the shout out, Michael. The funny thing is I nominated MYSELF!
LOL! This might be my first ever PPP post since…it’s actually relevant! This is a good example of PPP done right…unlike SOME people.
I think getting nominated is a bit more difficult for blogs like mine and yours, Michael, since we don’t have a specific focus. I know most blogs deviate sometimes but most have a very specific audience and topic whereas we seem to blog about everything.
Yeah, I agree with that. But for the time being, blogging is so much an income thing for me as it is just a place for me to write about whatever I feel like. “Some day”, maybe, BTR will gain a specific focus.
