TED.com is definitely worth checking out.

I Can Haz Cheeseburger is such a rip-off. Caturday started on the chans and now the folks who yanked the meme are making cash off it all. I wonder what the office morons who fwd all those "cute" cats to their friends would think if they ever checked out /b/.

Congrats to all the winners :)

Our web series "Drawn by Pain" won the People's Voice Webby for Best use of animation and we just happy that people were kind enough to throw us a few votes.

One thing though - The awards ceremony is expensive!

GAH!

Abejita, maybe it's a sign that I'm getting old, but I have almost no idea what you're saying. "Caturday"? "The chans"? "/b/"?

@avram you should be glad you have no idea.

@Abejita: That's free market competition at work, baby! Being the first to do something doesn't matter nearly as much as being the biggest and best at doing it. It's pretty hard to sneer at ICHC's phenomenal number of page hits per day. More power to them, I say.

@CBTH

It's all fun and games until ebaumsworld gets involved.

I'm punching myself in the face over Skull A Day. Seriously.

(congrats to all)

The majority of the sites seemed to corporate (i.e., business or "for profit" sites). Shame they don't have an award for regular joes or jills who just come up with a great concept and run with it -- instead of cashing in.

As it costs $275 to be considered for a Webby it is not surprising that the winners are 'business or "for profit" sites'
