We're a Webby Award Honoree for Best Writing, Online Video
By leelefever on April 14, 2009 - 10:26am
This morning we learned that we're an official Webby Award Honoree in the category of Best Writing, Online Film and Video! Woohoo!
But what does that mean? Here's what it says on the Webby Award website:
As a result of the exceptional quality of submissions this year, the Academy has chosen to recognize work exhibiting remarkable achievement that was not selected as a Nominee. Out of the nearly 10,000 entries submitted to the 13th Annual Webby Awards, less than 15% are awarded the status of Official Honorees.
So, we made the short-list, but were not selected for a nomination. We're completely excited to be an honoree and congratulate the nominees and look forward to seeing who takes the prize.
Last year we were an honoree in the category of Technology, Online Film and Video.
Not Surprised
You guys do good work and I enjoy coming back to your site to learn new stuff. You deserve to be nominated.
Greatest teaching videos
I teach a college-level computer applications course and your videos are exactly what the students need to understand Web 2.0 technologies, such as blogs, wikis, etc. Keep up the great work. I also use these videos for faculty development.
You're seriously using this
You're seriously using this stuff for teaching? That's awesome! I guess it is perfect for that...
congrats.
Like Susan I use some of your work in teaching. Its a wonderful concept and easy to understand. Let's hope that next year you make the nominee list
Best wishes Lin
of course you deserve the recognition and more
i learned lots of stuff here, just keep it up , hard work always pays off!
Kudos
Actually, you deserve more than an honoree status. I've been to this site several times over and it never fails to amaze me how you guys came up with such an excellent idea. A lot of people really need some form of guide about certain web apps and they don't have time for formal computing education. In fact not all knows which of the apps are really suitable for their needs.
Pretty stiff competition
I agree with John P, that it is no surprise you made the short list, but talk about some serious competition for the nomination spots. The Onion, Funny or Die and ABC are pretty heavy hitters. It almost seems unfair that the entertainment content is not segregated from the educational. Regardless, it is just a matter of time before you get the nomination that we all know you deserve.
Take care,
Pat
Congrats! :)
Congrats! :)
congratulations
nah, you should be given more than honoree recognition. The fact that even twitter is using your video means your instructions can be put into good use. Hey how come you let the twitter followers think that those videos are original twitter inputs?
I'm not so good at computing and if there's anything i can't seem to understand, i know i can find an easy to understand explanation here. Anyway hope you won't get tired of coming up with more of those easy to understand videos.
Good Job..
Good job, I am actually thinking about starting something similar, the thing is you need an angle like you have got, with the card animations etc. Ill start thinking.
That's worth a nomination!
congrats for this great news!
You're the perfect example that work pays!
Congrats to all the team
Well Deserved!
There's no surprise you're honorees, your work is outstanding, but how did you not get nominated? Shocking. ( :
Honestly, sometimes I watch your videos just to give me a lift, and I point people to your work all the time because it's so easy to absorb. Congratulations on your wonderful work.
Reward in right hands
I really feel that it was just matter of time when will you be rewarded for your great work.
Congratulation, well deserved!
congrats
Congratulations and good luck . A well deserved nomination
You deserve it!
All i can say is... great job and congratulations! I use your videos to teach my children and so far you have been a lot of help.
For me it is no Surprises
For me it is no Surprises really. Good work done and i am hopping this same for this Site. I agree with you Janet, Really some time videos just to give me a lift.
