Webby Awards appear meaningless

Uhhh, is it just me, or do the Webby site qualify (ironically), for the most useless site ever made. Wow, we give out awards with titles, with no explaination. None, at all. "Technical Achievement", okay, what did you think was so impressive about Apache? Why was it better then what Google's accomplished?

We give out this awards, and explain nothing, nothing at all. Geez, that's useful. They give you links to the people who won, and the people nominated. Whoopie! Why not tell me something useful, like the criteria that you used to evaluate them (the criteria is there, but hidden away). Why not tell me what the Apache people did to qualify as: "Sites introducing or integrating technology that pushes the envelope, and invite us to believe in what once seemed impossible" .

Great, you took 4 technical achievements, arbitrarily picked one. That's nice, where's some useful content? Personally, I think Google News is much cooler then anything Apache's done lately. Not that Apache isn't cool, but Google's done far more previously deemed impossible things lately then Apache has. At least tell me what you think Apache has done that you think is wonderful?

Maybe they'll release all that information later after some goofy ceremony, but seems like it'd be mighty useful content to give the site some actual value.
