The Winners of the Open Web Awards have been announced.
Due to my moving and connectivity problems I wasn't able to promote the voting phases but I did vote on the judges choice awards - it is interesting how voting differed between the two.

Open Web Awards – Call for Nominations
The Open Web Awards are now open for nominations until the 6th December, and this stage of the proceeding is quite open plan.
The current 28 blogging partners (increasing daily) have been provided with a list of categories to accept nominations for, and it is down to each blog to decide how to proceed with collecting nominations, whether to make individual posts for each category, or to handle things from a single post.
Voting will take place in a much more refined manner.

Open Web Awards
In the past I have praised Mashable for being open-minded in their reporting of Web 2.0 News, and whilst they do dabble in provocative titles once in a while, coverage is unbiased.
That is why I was pleased to accept playing a role in both promoting and judging their Open Web Awards, though full details are not yet available of exactly what that will entail.

MyBlogLog Acquisition Coverage
It is interesting looking at the acquisition coverage for MyBlogLog.
First of all Techmeme gets it partially right, that one of the original sources for the sale was Forbes.
If you expand all the related coverage, it is a shame the announcement on the MyBlogLog Blog doesn’t seem to have been cited anywhere near as many times.
Google Double or Indented Listings
- Get one page indexed and ranking
- Write a second post linking to the first (which will also then trackback to the second page)
- Use the same primary keyword in both posts
The second method I use, for topics that get frequent mentions, are tags.
