Asia Blog Awards 2004: Introduction and Rules
**Nominations closed. Polls will be posted from December 15th** Following Phil's successful efforts last year with the 2003 Asian Blog Awards, he has graciously passed the honour of hosting this year's event to me. So I present to you the Asia Blog Awards for 2004. It's a great way to draw attention to the Asian blogging scene. Hopefully it will generate more traffic for Asian blogs and expose us all to many new blogs from around the region. This year's event will be similar to last year with a few key differences. The rules for the event are below. Any suggestions, offers of help or comments are welcome: 1. All nominated blogs must be predominately written in English. The timetable is subject to revision. It is deliberately quick to avoid the Christmas/New Year period and avoid dragging on too long. If there is enough demand I may extend the voting into the New Year but at this stage this is the timetable. Before I get to the categories, I have two requests. For each regional category I would like a volunteer who knows the blogs of that region well enough to help me sort out potential finalists. Your own blog will still be eligible for that category. Also anyone able to help in designing logos/buttons for the winners to post on their site, please let me know. You can email me at simon-[at]-simonworld-[dot]-mu-[dot]-nu The categories are: Best HK Blog Best Newcomer 2004 Funniest Blog There are also the World 2004 Blog Awards. You can check out the Best Blogs in Asia directory for more blogs. posted by Simon on 12.10.04 at 11:59 PM in the Asia Blog Awards 2004 category.

Comments:
I think everyone should be entitled to *one* vote. Perhaps you could find software that requires the registration of voters - making multiple votes by a single person really too much of an inconvience. Registration also solves vote rigging (pretty easy with most online voting scripts - vote, reconnect your connection to get a new IP address, delete all cookies, vote, repeat) posted by: Rajan R on 12.01.04 at 06:45 PM [permalink]That's a fair point and one I considered, but due to the time constraints and the lack of available software I just went with what I had at hand. If you can find some free/cheap voting software that will do this then I'm happy to try it. But it needs to be ready to go by next Wednesday... From last year, Phil had a reasonably good one-time only voting system and still plenty of people tried to cheat. I figure this is the best compromise. I will be tracking the voting to make sure people don't vote more than once a day. posted by: Simon on 12.01.04 at 06:58 PM [permalink]And what if our vote is for Simon's World? Is Simon's World eligible? And if it's not, do I get accolades for trying? posted by: Helen on 12.01.04 at 07:37 PM [permalink]H - I appreciate it but I'm ruling myself out. However if I happen to get nominated in the World Awards, you can vote for me there instead! And of course you get accolades for trying. You get accolades for just being you! posted by: Simon on 12.01.04 at 07:42 PM [permalink]Best of luck with it, although I think you should of listed the blogs first and then invite submissions. posted by: Giles on 12.02.04 at 07:09 AM [permalink]Rajan - many thanks for the tip. You guys forget that some of us are pretty computer illiterate and i would never have worked out how to vote more than once without being detected but now i know how to vote early and vote often as the old saying goes. hopefully this means i will be able to raise even more cash from the auction of my vote(s). posted by: the other giles on 12.02.04 at 02:26 PM [permalink]Any chance of a summary page of the nominations? posted by: shaky on 12.02.04 at 03:18 PM [permalink]Where do all of us Central Asia blogs go? :) I'm actually surprised at the number I'm finding that are written by Peace Corps Volunteers in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan (Uzbekistan has few active ones). Really though, we're a weird category -- not quite Asia, but not quite Europe, just hanging out on the fringes. posted by: Nathan Hamm on 12.02.04 at 10:55 PM [permalink]Helen beat me to the question! Can I write you in? How about if there is a groundswell of public support for a write in campaign? posted by: RP on 12.03.04 at 12:24 AM [permalink]Another Trackback: http://friskodude.blogspot.com/2004/12/asia-blog-awards-2004.html posted by: Carl Parkes on 12.03.04 at 02:43 AM [permalink]who's going to feed the grandchildren while you feeds all these bloody bloggers inflated egos. Just fix the results at the beginning and all the votes can go into the ether. This technique almost worked in The Ukraine and has been successful elsewhere posted by: da on 12.03.04 at 01:17 PM [permalink]Did you realize yet that you are nominated for a world weblog award? Congrads -- see http://2004weblogawards.com/archives/poll.php posted by: Andy on 12.03.04 at 11:27 PM [permalink]The Central Asia link takes us to the Vietnam category. I am, of course, willing to help you out with selecting the finalists. And, since the Central Asian blogosphere is a lightly-trafficked place, I heartily encourage everyone to check out the Central Asia blogs on my blogroll to help with the nominating! posted by: Nathan Hamm on 12.04.04 at 02:07 AM [permalink]Should all be fixed now Nathan. Thanks to all...please help continue to spread the word and get those nominations coming in. posted by: Simon on 12.04.04 at 11:09 AM [permalink]Yet another Trackback: http://spaces.msn.com/members/friskodude/PersonalSpace.aspx Tried to do that Manual Trackback thingie, but nothing but error messages. I nominate the Sassy Lawyer blog. am voting http://dudaesimboyo.blogspot.com/ Hi, Maybe you could have an "Other South-East Asia" blogs category. I have a blog from Burma. I am a reader of blogs. My first favorite to which I am addicted to, and I am nomitating and voting is: A Sassy Lawyer in Philippine Suburbia with url http://houseonahill.net posted by: Rosario on 12.08.04 at 12:46 AM [permalink]I should like to nominate the entertainingly no-nonsense "Jakartass" blog (which lives at: http://jakartass.blogspot.com). If feasible I should like to nominate his blog for both "best Indonesian blog" as well as "best newcomer 2004" Yours, Derek Bacon posted by: Derek Bacon on 12.08.04 at 06:31 PM [permalink]http://blackandwhite169.blogspot.com/2004/12/asia-blog-award-2004.html A trackback from the Black and White Blog posted by: Littleblack on 12.08.04 at 11:11 PM [permalink]Erm, how do you vote? http://www.thiswayplease[dot]com/extra.html posted by: Fred on 12.09.04 at 02:32 AM [permalink]I'll nominate that Simon guy, his blog goes OK. Coincidentally, Simon, he has the same name as you. Do you know him? http://simonworld.mu.nu/ I would have nominated Harry, but he shilled for votes. No exactly the done thing. He is also in South America, which unless I'm mistaken, is not in Asia. posted by: Tony.T on 12.09.04 at 06:49 PM [permalink]Cleaning Services posted by: Need a cleaner? on 12.25.04 at 01:09 PM [permalink]I nominate the Shaun Chng's blog. wow!!!! this is a great website. posted by: online kasino on 01.12.05 at 05:03 AM [permalink]enjoyed reading your posts. posted by: kasino online on 01.12.05 at 05:03 AM [permalink] |
