Webby Favorites

You have until April 30th to vote for "the best of the net" among the Webby People's Voice nominees. The Webby Awards are a series of awards presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences and cover the categories of Web and Mobile Sites, Interactive Advertising and Online Film & Video.


Even if you don't want to vote, be sure to check out the nominees and honorees in some of the categories of interest to you among the Web contenders (i.e. Services & Applications, Lifestyle, Events, Guides/Ratings/Reviews, Weird, Travel, etc. ). There are lots of them, so you've probably missed out on something new this year on the web that you'll find either useful or entertaining.

Here are some of my personal favorites in the Web categories:

TOOLS AND PRODUCTIVITY:

Picnik - "edit photos the easy way, online in your browser"

The Very Short List - "Great discoveries + short, sweet e-mails + 5 days a week"

PLAY AND SELF-EXPRESSION:

Marvel's Create your own Superhero

Crappy Cat (Join Crappy Cat in the Interactive Theater)


Puma Lift (have fun with advertising)

Dream Grove - "a database of dreams accessible in a webpage an an interactive garden ... Based on theories of memory and mental mapping, Dreamgrove merges the digital and the botanical, transforming text into public space."


20x200 - " Find Art for $20 - Really"

Indexed - (personal blog) described as "a little project that allows me to make fun of some things and sense of others without resorting to doing actual math.”

GUIDES / RATINGS/ EVENTS:
