As I’ve gone on about ad infinitum the idea of how ‘results’ might work has been troubling me a fair bit and I’m really keen to avoid ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ (because really, these and the many great blogs that weren’t nominated (probably due to lack of credible-blog-clout…) are all very much winners) and in that thinking we kinda decided to scrap the ‘editorial’ aspect and just let the votes decide. In the end I reckon if you picked up 5 votes or more then you should get a mention here. [...] [...] Basically, congratulations to everyone who was nominated.

I was reminded of the whole demoralising process of choosing headgirl in my high school yesterday. And now that it seems I can make more than one nomination per category... look out! :-) I’m not sure that I’m a “person who matters”, but I’m glad to see that there’s some concern about the whole popularity contest point of blog awards.

I definitely wasn't trying to disrupt the Awards, just thinking out loud, as one sometimes does in a blog. While I agree with Ismael that one of the benefits of the process is finding new educational bloggers you didn't know about (Ismael's own blog is an example of this in my case) there are clearly other ways to do this without running a popularity contest. Indeed, one of the reasons that there is a blogo*sphere* (and not just people standing on soapboxes in a vacuum) is that bloggers have developed conventions (blogrolls, references in posts, leaving URLs in comment areas) for referring other people to blogs they read and enjoy. Anyways, good luck with the awards; now I'm going to go out and buy myself a Ferrari to help ease my status anxiety ;-) Cheers, Scott James, I really appreciate you posting your comments on my concerns.

I did have some of the same misgivings as Scott though; which is why I've only made one nomination in a category that didn't have anyone in it. I think I'll add some interesting lesser-known bloggers. Most of us know the major ones. I agree with Ismael; this is just for fun.
