  • Damn, I can't believe that Wikipedia beat out PBwiki in the wiki category!

    I guess that leaves us something to shoot for next year.

    Thanks to all the peeps at Daily Contributor and all the other bloggers who picked us!
  • Chris, you still have a chance for the OWA. It's just the blogger's choice where all participating/partner gets to vote and pick among the 3 finalists. I think a recount is not necessary. Good Luck next year!
  • Anne
    I can't say that I agree with the choice of Pandora, which is only accessible to US users. All contenders should be global.
  • I can say I agree with winners DIGG and Youtube .. meaning I am happy for them
  • I'm a bit surprised for the winner playfish in the online game category. I use to go on newground which is the best online game portal from my point of view. But like Randy said, it's the blogger's choice.
  • Tom
    Wow, it looks like the great projects won the competition.
  • Thanks man, very good post.
