Happy BlogDay 2006!!!

Blog Day - Happy BlogDay 2006!!!

Wow. It's BLOGDAY!

This is my BlogDay post. In it you will find new bloggers (for me) that write about stuff that I represents my interests. Celebrate!

Since Blogday.org is down right now, here is what it says on the About Page.

About BlogDay
BlogDay was initiated with the belief that bloggers should have one day which will be dedicated to know other bloggers, from other countries or areas of interests. In that day Bloggers will recommend about them to their Blog visitors.

What will happen in BlogDay
In one long moment In August 31st, bloggers from all over the world will post a recommendation of 5 new Blogs, Preferably, Blogs different from their own culture, point of view and attitude. On this day, blog surfers will find themselves leaping and discovering new, unknown Blogs, celebrating the discovery of new people and new bloggers.

Why do we need a BlogDay?
I am suggesting this kind of activity because in the last months I felt that the more blogs there are, the less time I’m spending on new web logs. Because of the overload of information, I’m just visiting my favorite Blog and therefore, I’m sure that I miss a lot of good blogs.

Backlog of Awards Nominations

Backlog of Awards Nominations

Wow.

We have been presenting these Daily Blog Awards for one month now.

I just went through all the comments back to the beginning of time and pulled out all of the nominations which had not yet been Blog Of The Day Awards Winners.

It looks like we are getting quite a backlog.

I put the list together and sent it out to the judges and we will see tommorow who the winner will be. If the list continues to grow the way it has been, we will be seeing more and more sites added to the nominees list and only one winner per day.

Comment with ideas on how to deal with the backlog if you have them.

Some of the Weblog Awards Judging Criteria are listed below.

Thank you,

Today's Blog of the Day Award goes to Dave Taylor who stopped by and nominated his own Ask Dave Taylor Blog saying: "I think that with over 1000 postings and thousands of comments, it's one of the best places on the net to find tech support and answers to just about any of your business or tech questions and the over 200,000 people/month who visit seem to agree. ;-)"

We agree as well. Dave is the author of a book we read recently called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Growing Your Business With Google" and in Dave's latest post he uses some ideas from another favorite author of ours, Malcolm Gladwell, to help debunk the idea that "the era of Best Sellers is over" as proposed by Chris Anderson's "Long Tail." Dave has an even better and longer article about this at his Intuitive Blog

PS: I'm not even going to talk about the "Get Out of Hell Free" cards but if you find that post, happy reading, and happy viral marketing.

Blog of the Day Awards for Tuesday August 1, 2006 - Matt Impett for Matt's Blog

Today's Blog of the Day Award goes to Matt Impett - Matt Impett for Matt's Blog and Updates on Matt and his cord blood experience. Matt is fighting cancer and the basic idea is that he is getting a two unit umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant.

More power to you Matt. We are rooting for you.

Become a survivor!



Sorry to read today that Matt Impett Died on February 6, 2008

Matthew Impett

Matthew Scott "Matt" Impett, 30, a resident of Annapolis for three years and formerly of New York City, died of leukemia Feb. 6 in his home after a 2 1/2-year illness.

Mr. Impett was born Aug. 17, 1977, in Baltimore to Rick and Sylvia Impett of Annapolis. He graduated from the University of Maryland in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in computer science.

He worked as a systems administrator with Community IT Innovators, beginning in April of 2005. He previously worked as a member of technical staff at Flarion Technologies and as a faculty research assistant at the University of Maryland

He was known for being good at everything he tried. He confronted his illness head-on, growing himself and sharing his challenges and successes with those around him, inspiring them to find greater meaning in their lives.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Paul "Opa" and Frances Gregory and Ray and Colette Impett.

Survivors include his wife, whom he married in November of 2007, Ellen Kittredge; and one sister, Emily Impett of San Francisco.
