The winner of the 2008 LAMMY for Best Blog Name is...
2008-05-10 17:45:00
What's in a name? Does it need to have "movie" or "film" in the title, all the better to be found on Google? Should it be funny? Does it do a good job of describing the writing that can be found at that URL? These must all be good questions, because it seems we all have quite a few different ideas about what makes a good name (34 sites received votes). This was the 2nd most active category, with 76 total votes spread to 34 sites by 32 voters. The winner
took the trophy while receiving a vote from 25% of the voters, the 12th highest percentage of all the categories.The envelope please...2nd place (tie): Reel Whore (7 votes)2nd place (tie): Movie Dearest (7 votes)And the winner, with 8 votes is...Anchorwoman in Peril!Your winning LAMMY banner will be emailed to you after all the awards have

If it seems I don't have as much to say about this category, well, that's by design. I left the criteria (not as though there's all that much for the other categories) open to your interpretation. Simply put, I asked "Who's shooting for the moon?" This was the 9th most active category, with 59 total votes spread to 27 sites by 29 voters. The winner

It wasn't my intention to do what I've done just below. However, circumstances beyond my control have given me reason to think it necessary, or at least a good idea. Surely, there is the potential for someone to think "Hey, my best blogging buddy didn't vote for me!," though I certainly don't think there's much reason to (there's a lot of competition, after all).Either way, below you will find the

If you knew that already and were way on the ball before I was, good for you! If you're wondering why yours didn't make it, check back next week as I received

A couple times over the last few months, I've asked the LAMBs to take part in a little quiz I set up to gauge the demographics of the site authors that have joined. Participation ran pretty high, with 60 sites answering (out of a possible 95 or so).Not surprisingly, the profile of your average LAMB author matches that of the usual stereotypical computer geek: a straight, single white American male
