Nominations for the 2007 Irish Blog Awards are now open and will run until 11.59pm on Friday the 26th of January 2007. You’ll find the list of categories here and can enter your nominations here (though they are changing that so you can nominate for multiple categories in one go). I still don’t know what category, if any, we fit into but there you go.
JPEGr claims to provide the easiest photo hosting on the net and it might just be. You find a photo, you upload it and then you can pass it around or post it to your blog/myspace. It’s just that simple and the interface is clean and usable at every stage. Which is nice. It wouldn’t be an awful lot of use to me but I can imagine it’d be a great spot for someone who just wants to throw up a pic to share with friends or family. How it would hold up hosting images for a well trafficked site is anyone’s guess but they seem to do everything else right. It’s not quite Flickr but, obviously enough, that’s kind of the point.
God, bloggers do seem to like their awards. Nominations for the 2007 Bloggies, a non-profit project, are now open until 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) on Wednesday, January 10 (though they actually say Jan. 10 2005, so that might not be 100% accurate). Finalists will then be announced on the 22nd and voting will begin. The categories are actually quite good and there’s even a Best Kept Secret one - though quite how many nominations you can get if you’re that well kept a secret.
March 3rd has been set as the provisional date for the second Irish Blog Awards. Anyone interested in going should drop by the site and let them know, so they can get an idea of how many people they’ll be dealing with. Nominations haven’t begun yet but you can see a list of categories here and have yourself a nice think on it.
“Every item on JumbleTown is FREE to Take.”
It’s a set of forums where people post items they don’t want. You contact them and arrange to collect it. That’s it.
Obviously, I have no idea as to the quality of the stuff being given away, but at a glance there seems to be the odd item of interest. And obviously a lot of items of interest to other people judging by the amount of stuff which is now ‘Taken’ rather than ‘Available.
A couple of items I noticed (still available at time of writing!):
What a great idea.
