Soliciting popularity
Last week I found out I’ve been nominated for a “Mobbie” Award. Apparently the Baltimore Sun is sponsoring a competition to determine Maryland’s Outstanding Blogs and I’m nominated in two categories: politics (natch) and the catch-all category called “misfits”.
So I checked into this and the awards are basically a glorified popularity contest based on voting for particular blogs. Looking at my competition (for example, there are over 20 political blogs nominated) I’m going to have a tough time rising to the top simply because many of the others are multi-contributor sites based on the Western Shore. But as long as the voting continues I have a shot, so why not take a moment and vote for me. Let’s see if I can at least finish ahead of all the liberal sites out there. First would be awesome, but top-half wouldn’t be too bad for a Salisbury-based site. Maybe the Daily Times ought to steal this idea.
I know, there’s a drawback because you have to register with the Baltimore Sun website but they’re not too obnoxious with their junk mail load – no more so than a number of other sites.
I’d feel better about this if there were an Editor’s Choice award; then again, that would never go to a conservative website so I guess the popularity contest is the better shot for me.
So go here and pimp monoblogue in the Politics and Misfit categories. After all, people consider me part of the “angry mob” so maybe a Mobbie Award would be appropriate.
