OpenWebAwards.com Nominations Are Open

Read all about it!

I am going to approach the nominations for the OpenWebAwards in an open, egalitarian, and lazy way: I am going to invite you -- whoever is reading this post, and your cousin, Mike -- to submit nominations.

I will also start doing a few, and over the next week, I will filter down to the top nominations, where top is loosely defined at ones with the most recommendations that I don't think suck.

Here are the categories:

1. Mainstream and Large Scale Networks
2. Applications and Widgets
3. Social News and Social Bookmarking
4. Social Search
5. Sports and Fitness
6. Photo Sharing
7. Video Sharing
8. Start Pages
9. Places and Events
10. Music
11. Social Shopping
12. Mobile
13. Niche and Miscellaneous Social Networks

Let the commenting begin!

NOMINATION - The Periodic Label: The Open Source Record Label - (Music) - http://theperiodiclabel.com

The Periodic Label is somewhere between COLLECTIVE and COLLECTOR. Between SCIENCE and ART. Between YOURS and OURS. We’ve spent our lives making mix tapes for friends and strangers, because how else would they realize how much ass those songs kick? And now we’re giving you music for free, because we think you need to hear it.
