Since everyone is jumping off this bridge, I will too! The 2007 Bloggies are open for nominations now. They are open until 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) on Wednesday, January 10, 2005… hehe… 2007, think the guys messed up a bit there.

Now you could nominate Mobility Site, Chris.Leckness.com, or even Jack’s blog – Experience Mobility or you could nominate your own. I am asking for a Mobility Site nomination, but I do not a) expect you to or b) even make the vote page. We work very hard here, but let’s be realistic, this site and many others don’t have a snowballs chance up against the big boys, some of which are paid blogs with corporate backing. Am I bitter, of course not, I cherish this site, but I don’t realisticly see a category where we are better than any others. We strive to be great, but most of our lovely staff here all have day jobs and can’t do it like the big boys.

Instead, I am going to list my nominations in the categories that I feel qualified to nominate in….
Best Web Application for Weblogs – Flickr, Digg, and Blogger.com
Best American Weblog – Boing Boing, Consumerist
Best Computers or Technology Weblog - Engadget, Gizmodo, and Mobility Site (ok, the token pimp my blog nomination)
Weblog of the Year – Consumerist, Engadget, Lifehacker
I will post a reminder when the votes go live, make sure to vote for your favorites!

Just for your info, if you wondered, here are my favorite blogs. For Gadgets, you can’t go wrong with Engadget or Gizmodo, there are some other newer gadget blogs too, but many of them are just replicating content, not that it’s a bad thing, we do it too! We do have a decent amount of original content stemming from Press Events, Releases, Tips, and out own experiences. General Blogs that I love are Scobelizer, Chris Pirillo, JK on the Run (love Kevin’s original takes), Josh Bancroft when he is hard at it /wink, I enjoy Crunch Gear (used to like it more, but still good), and I really enjoy reading what Calacanis and Mark Cuban have to say. I subscribe to over 600 RSS feeds and I read most of them, some I let pile up for a rainy day, some every couple hours.

One more thing… A Bloggies Prediction - Either Engadget Mobile or EngadgetHD will win "Best New Weblog" this year.
