asia blog awards
i came to know of the asia blog awards 2006/7 from pok ku’s blog.
in the 2004 asia blog awards, pok ku was the winner under ‘best malaysia blog’. take a look here at the full result of the 2004 winners and finalists, and tell me if you recognise a particular blog as one of the nominee. 
2004 asia blogs awards was handled by simon of simonworld but for this year’s awards, he had passed the baton over to myrick of asianpundit.
the asia blog awards 2004 has many categories, apart from the countries categories of course. to view the winners of the 2004 awards, click here. as you can see, there were also awards for best newcomer, best design, best political blog and so on. for this year’s awards, more categories were added in, like best podcast and best activist.
of course we all know that all these best blogs awards thingy (e.g. the recent ‘malaysia unofficial top 70 blogs‘ or even the PPS award last year) will not really reflect the true outcome. it’s kind of like sms voting for malaysian idol - the more popular you are among friends, the more votes you will get. however, despite that, the nominees still feel thrilled i’m sure. as after all, as myrick had stated, it’s all for fun.
so what are you waiting for now? go and vote for your favourite blogs this minute! oh btw, i had nominated someone.

*Kembang*. I where got good?
Hands down, Mr. Coconut or Mr. Thinking Aloud will win.
Thanks anyway. Really appreciated it.
lucia: well, honestly speaking, yes mr thinking aloud’s blog is better than yours. but i still like to nominate you because for one thing since mr thinking aloud is so popular already, others might nominate him or maybe i look at it this way that he is already good, no need to stand for the award!
anyway, i nominated you is also because i truly enjoying reading your blog. you are very up-to-date, you have lots of links and lots of pictures… and hey, you don’t have to reciprocate by nominating me lah! there must be a good reason… well narcissisim is one for those who nominated self.

These kind of things are always popularity contests. Its not who you are but who you know. You know?
lucia: i know i know.
aside from popularity, it is also a case of ‘happen to be there’, if you know what i mean. e.g. this award, i happen to know about it and those who read this post of mine will also knows about it, so they will send in nominations BUT what of others who doesn’t knows about it? they might know lots more good blogs but since they don’t know about this award, they did not nominate those good blogs.Â

Not alot of nominees yet yar…and its so close to the closing date already.
lucia: well i suppose that was because the announcement was started late. well this is another aspect of the best this and that award, not showing the true picture as nominees will be only a few out of the many blogs out there.Â
