I’m in an awards mood today, and it’s almost time to reflect on 2008 as we head barreling into 2009. The New York Times blogged about a company’s quest (great PR move by Sawhorse Media) to find the Shorty Awards, and it’s a hot topic on Twitter. Over 12,000 entries have come in already.
I thought it was for top tweets, but it’s really for the top people on Twitter in different categories. This means it serves as a great way to see who’s popular on different subjects (just in case you need to reach or follow one of them).
To me the most impactful tweet of this year came from www.shortyawards.com. Oh, I hope they’ll have a giant TweetUp to celebrate. They are actually having an awards ceremony and are looking for sponsors for it. Otherwise there aren’t any details about what they’re planning.
