Web 2.0 awards
File this under "somewhat suspicious." SEOmoz, a Seattle-based search engine optimization company, has their Web 2.0 award winners available. I say it's somewhat suspicious because 1) who cares what SEOmoz thinks, and 2) there's no year associated with the awards. Clearly these aren't from 1998, but even going to nominate next year's candidates doesn't give you a year. Maybe this is all a ruse, designed to increase traffic, add links, and possibly boost their search engine rankings? Nah, couldn't be.The one interesting thing about these "awards" is just that it's a good list for comparison. I don't agree with all the winners, but I do appreciate the rationale has been given for each category. Perhaps even more useful is SEmoz's primer on Web 2.0 as they see it.

If you're over the whole Web. 2.0 hype, whatever you do, do NOT go to the awards page. It'll just depress you.

They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
