Blogs come in many forms, so there must be several categories for blogs alone. For example, there are blogs which are about the promotion of a certain place for tourists. Then there should be Tourism Blog category too. How about that? I think Webbys should create blog categories to accommodate more entrants in next year’s awards.

But it's just the two of us and though we have a shortlist of potential bloggers to serve as judges, we still do not have the mechanics concretely layed out. The owner of PBA is a good friend of mine (I guess he's reading this already) and I'm a little hesitant to go head-to-head on his two-year old project. I did however told him years ago to really develop the site and get as much help as he can to standardize the awards. He did ask me to sit as a judge on the first year but I declined due to the fact that I was also busy as panel in the <a href="http://www.diarist.net/awards/">Diarist Awards</a>. With the format, a good consideration would be that of the PWA although it needs a little revision IMHO. Popularity vote is very messy and technically challenging considerign the lenghts people would go through in order to bypass the voting restrictions. SMS voting is also good as long as only unique votes are counted. We don't have the facility to provide thsi though. Maybe Ka Edong can help. :) @ Sean and Ka Edong

Web professionals instead of non-technical users?

I don’t think so. I think judges should be people with authority and should represent the regular blog hopper.

Or for that matter, why I haven't received confirmation letters for the two nominees I posted last May. Personally, I'm not willing to place much faith in the Philippine Webbies unless 1) Their awards garner significant influence among the online crowd, and 2) Their ensemble of judges includes more web professionals than non-technical users. I don't see them as having either of those qualifications at the moment.

They've included the "blogs" under personal category but I think it shouldn't, why because in a much wider sense, (although blog is personal) blog has its own thought space of interactivity as oppose to what the Philippine web awards means of "Personal Site Category". Imho, they should put up a separate category for this.... surely a lot of netizens/bloggers will flux this event een though for the payment.

Sort of like a people's choice award. Voting to be done online.

No physical prizes of course, unless somebody wants to donate, maybe the recognition and a logo would be good enough for an award (paging retx.. hehehe). just a thought :-) Yuga, Fleeb
