IMAO has once again ranked in Right Wing News’s Warblogger Awards, coming in behind Scrappleface for best humor blog (Scott Ott already came over to steal my thunder) but also tying for 11th for best overall blog.
I like the idea of the Warblogger Awards in that you have bloggers voting on the best blog; it’s sort of like the Academy Award in that it’s voted on by peers. Unfortunately, John Hawkins didn’t get as much participation in the voting this year, and something has to be done to drum it up and increase participation next year to make it have more prestige.
As for the Weblog Awards, I would think the people voting in most categories probably hasn’t actually seen all the blogs (I know I haven’t). For that to be more worthwhile with the unlimited internet voting, they should adopt an American Idol model and force you to at least sample all the talent before voting. Not sure how to do that, but why do I have to solve all the world’s problems?
