The Bloggies
One of the sessions at SXSW was the bloggies. It was an awards show for the best bloggers. They had categories like “Best Australian Blog” and “Best New Blog”. I didn’t know anyone in Australia had access to the internet, let alone their own blog (just kidding, of course).
It was a thoroughly enjoyable show and the winners seemed to concur with my thinking also. The show was kicked off by Nikolai Nolan.
Some of the winners & presenters of note were:
Zoe Margolis of “Girl with a one track mind” fame. She parlayed her love life into a book deal. The story is not that simple and has a few twists and turns. At the event she seemed quite comfortable.
Gina and Adrian from Lifehacker. I really like this blog and read it as much as I can.
The guys from icanhazcheezburger. This is a site I haven’t gotten into, but I hear it is very funny.
And my favorite, Heather Armstrong from dooce.com. For some strange reason, I find her blog hillarious.
