Free Naming and Branding Consultants and Resources

Blogs, Bloggers, Bloggies

The fifth annual weblog awards recognize the best of the blogosphere. Exercise your democratic rights; you don't have to be an Iraqi to vote for the Bloggies!

Of particular interest to Wordlabbers is the category for "best tagline of a weblog." The nominees are:
Pesky'Apostrophe, "Always better than an unexpected period".

Scaryduck, "Not scary, not a duck";

The Gospel According to Rhys, "Chronologically inept since 2060";

Random Acts of Reality, "Trying to kill as few people as possible..."; and

Dooce, for "Not your average clenched-cheek sprint to the bathroom" although she's already changed her tagline to "Unleashing the Inner Monologue."
Surprisingly, there is no category for "best name for a weblog." But there are some blogworthy names nominated for Bloggies in other categories, including:
This Fish Needs a Bicycle, for best weblog of the year;

Gawker, also in the best weblog of the year category;

My Boyfriend Is a Twat, in the category for best european weblog; and

Tequila Mockingbird is up for best writing.
Perhaps the best blogger's name is Powazek, who is nominated for "lifetime achievement" for excellence in blogging since 1997.

And the winner, no matter what happens, is Dooce, which means "to be fired from your job because of the contents of your weblog," for being nominated in four different categories not counting best name for a blog!
