All together now … aaaww …
I mean … I’ve seen probably hundreds of posts on the blogs of many talented, skilled and grown-up, tech-oriented bloggers who have cited dave winer’s excellence in many ways, and acknowledged his key contributions and ongoing leadership in developing and growing the blogospher.
And … some days I’d swear he wants to be acknowedged as King of the Blogosphere or something … at least for a day. Kere’s his most recent plaintive nomination … of himself.
As other mommies would no doubt often say “gimme gimme never gets”.
From Scripting News today:
Remember when you were a kid and your mom used to say dorky things about how it didn’t matter if other people liked you, because she liked you. You’d say “Oh mommmm, I know that.”
Anyway, I don’t get awards, but I wish I did. Given a chance I would certainly nominate this site for best technology in a weblog, if only for the cool Google-powered search, illustrated above in the post about Powazek. Did you know it uses the Google API in conjunction with the local content database to only give you the bits you’re looking for. It’s a big thing, and as far as I know, of all the millions of weblogs they’re tracking at Technorati (thanks to weblogs.com, by the way), this is the only one that has such a cool search command.
Let’s see, in addition to Best Technology in a Weblog, I would also give this site an award for Best Weblog, hands-down, and certainly put it in contention for Best Tech Weblog, and Best New Meme (podcasting).
The funny thing is, if you live long enough the dorky things that Mom used to say start meaning more.
