Webbys: Digg wins People's Voice Award for Best Practices

webbyawards.com — "With nearly 70 categories... Some are beautiful to look at and interact with. Others are a testament to usability and functionality. And a handful excel across the board. To be selected among the best is an incredible achievement worthy of praise -- and perhaps a little bragging."

  • ieure, on 05/07/2008, -1/+67Man, that Flash thing sucks. Here's a better list: http://www.webbyawards.com/webbys/current.php?seas ...
    • sfrench, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6No kidding, I searched for Digg for 2 minutes before I just gave up and looked at the static list and used my search feature in FF.
      • ieure, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7There is a search in the flash deal, too, but it just grays out anything that doesn't match, and the Digg logo is gray already.
      • bot001220, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Maybe the webby site should give itself a bad rating for its poor design ;p
    • ferrariman60, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5yeah, are we supposed to be able to use that at all? I sure couldn't.
  • mark076h, on 05/07/2008, -1/+56i found everything about that webby award site to completely suck
  • jeebus16, on 05/07/2008, -1/+30Congrats to the Totally Rad Show as well. People's voice for "Variety"
    • hokeywebb22, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9Don't forget about diggnation also getting people's voice. Love both shows.
    • trivialmaggot, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4and The Escapist/Zero Punctuation for the Games-Related category.
  • kelvlam, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6congratz to Digg!
  • Derfy, on 05/07/2008, -2/+28Congratulations to Digg, Diggnation, and the Totally Rad Show! Great job guys.
  • borez, on 05/07/2008, -1/+50Digg deserves to have a completely new webby category:

    The "OMG where did the last five hours go" site of the year.
    • Ajajadude, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7Or maybe a "Hey, can I copy your lecture notes?" category.
  • sockpuppets, on 05/07/2008, -2/+37Clearly they haven't tried to use the comment section.
  • Okari, on 05/07/2008, -3/+13"Best Practices" Do they even research the sites they nominate? I love Digg and all, but this is *****.
    • sancho, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Well, it's a people's choice. It seems likely that a lot of people who love Digg voted for it.

      To be honest, I think that Digg's web design is pretty decent. With a few minor tweaks, I think that it would truly deserve the award.
  • skiltonian, on 05/07/2008, -10/+5Best Digg Troll Award goes to: Onetimer and Bingoboner
    • ElBeh, on 05/07/2008, -4/+10I dunno Bingoboner, but Onetimer is certainly not a troll. He can be a bit of a dissident, though. I'm cool with that.
      • GhostyBoy, on 05/07/2008, -3/+9Bingo is consistently retarded. Onetimer seems pretty smart, regardless of whether you like what he says.
        • ssn697, on 05/07/2008, -2/+7I'd lump bingo and card51 together in the troll/waste of bandwidth category.
          • GhostyBoy, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2I gotta stick up for him. I don't like his comments WAY out of left field, but he's a nice guy and it seems like his intentions are honest.
          • ssn697, on 05/07/2008, -2/+4Ah, you missed he comments long ago, where he wished for my death, among other things. I originally just listed him as a harmless idiot, but he is most definitely manic depressive.

            It has been so long that I don't remember all his specific comments, but someone else said the same thing "he's a nice guy", until I reposted his comments...
          • jcm267, on 05/07/2008, -2/+1I was the one who thought that he was a nice guy.
          • Gratefuldead, on 05/07/2008, -4/+2you guys watch soap opera's too?
        • jcm267, on 05/07/2008, -2/+7I think that bingo is permanently banned now.

          http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bingobongony
      • jcm267, on 05/07/2008, -3/+4There's no reasoning with skiltonian (formerly known as dstat). Just bury this troll and move on.
    • matador3, on 05/07/2008, -2/+3What about p0s3r?
    • nmnnotmyname, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2+ AppleMacMan + Tehrooni + PabloMac
    • onetimer, on 05/07/2008, -3/+7This guy is just pissed because I got his last account banned for spewing ethnic slurs and disparaging judaism. I added him to my block list long ago.
      • skiltonian, on 05/07/2008, -8/+1So who do you support for President 1Heimer?
      • skiltonian, on 05/07/2008, -8/+1You have accused me of being 3 different people. Who am I? I am Skiltonian!
      • skiltonian, on 05/07/2008, -8/+1" spewing ethnic slurs and disparaging judaism."

        I am a Jew dumbass!
  • soundman7718, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6For all the time I should have been doing work...I salute you digg. Congrats.
  • Acglaphotis, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2Yay for donnie, YSAP won in a couple of categories.
  • enportugal, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2This as to be a joke...
  • serif69, on 05/07/2008, -5/+3Best Practices? Apparently they haven't seen the new algorithm in action...
  • brainboy77, on 05/07/2008, -1/+26the escapist purely won on yahtzee's reviews.
  • huertanix, on 05/07/2008, -2/+2Best practices? Like slowing down Firefox on PowerPC Mac users to a crawl?
    • zongamin, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1works fine on my G5 - maybe you need more ram.
    • etx313, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Sounds like you gots a slow box friend.
  • brainboy77, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1we lost to flickr on the jury portion. i blame the bugs and the new algorithm.
  • tylermenezes, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2How could it not? We all know the "Digg effect". Who's ever heard of the "NY Times effect"?

    On a side note, I like how the webby awards just sent me an email telling my last chance to vote is May 1. It's marked as being sent today. SRSLY? Get a better MX exchanger!
  • rakovlam, on 05/07/2008, -1/+5Best practice for what? Abstinence?
  • whitezombie420, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1ok, so what exactly do they mean by "best practices"?
    • Jeffler, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2We all practice safe sex brilliantly as the stereotypical digger (MrBabyMan) never gets any.
  • Atomic1fire, on 05/07/2008, -2/+1http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/6494/diggdb0.pn ...

  • brownrecluse888, on 05/07/2008, -3/+0If there is a category for most Obama spam than digg would have one it hands down...or maybe most anti clinton posts.....
    • nmnnotmyname, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2We could win most SPAM for sure, you'd make a perfect example.
  • bobrossx, on 05/07/2008, -1/+509 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 FTW!

  • jaydoj, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2and in other news, the reward was revoked as people who were trying to comment on the award, could not due to problems during refreshing
  • Dante2005, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1As a relative newcomer to Digg I am glad to see it win a webby,
    God knows that its always a sure fire way to give me my morning laugh.
    There is nothing like feeling connected to the greatest minds and the most idiotic fools to get an idea of what is really happening in the world.
    • ParanoydAndroid, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Wait, did I accidently block the greatest minds section or something?
    • etx313, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Welcome to Digg. What is this 'God' you speak of?
  • bigbigspoon, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1Are the Webby people qualified to give this award.??... It's like my retarded brother telling me good job on walking to the car.!>!>!.. No ***** Digg won, they left that failure of a site embedded with a *****-ton of flash in the dust
