Webby Awards hit ripe old age of 10

CNET News.com: "Nominees for the 10th annual Webby Awards were announced Tuesday, and the list of potential honorees reads like a who's who of well-known Web properties.
The awards--which have seen the Internet rise, fall and rise again with the birth of Web 2.0--will be presented June 12 at a ceremony in New York City hosted by comedian Rob Corddry of 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.' Winners will be officially revealed May 9.
Awards will be granted in 65 categories, including activism, banking and bill paying, celebrity/fan, humor, personal Web site, science and more.
'Whether you call it 'Web 2.0' or nothing at all, this year's nominees reflect how consumers are taking the lead and reshaping the Web to make it even more vital, useful and meaningful,' said Webby Awards Executive Director David-Michel Davies. "

- NOTE: Be sure and check out the WebAward - a bit more of a serious competition and less of a popularity contest.
