Webby Award 2004 Winners Announced

ivar writes "Over at the official site, the 2004 Webby Award Winners have been announced. There were a few surprises given the last publicly viewable rankings - I guess they keep the last few days in secrecy for a reason." The press release announcing the winners has more detail, noting: "Reflecting the egalitarian spirit of the internet, winners ranged from Wikipedia.org (Best Community), a free, community-built encyclopedia, to the official site for the Oscar-winning documentary The Fog of War (Best Film), to web powerhouses like Google (Best Practices and Best Services)."

i can only agree with half of that statement

Is it just me, or do people here abuse moderation?

And here we go again - I post the reason why I *don't* think Google should have won an award, & it's a troll.

Is it just me, or do people on this site mod down posts with which they disagree, rather than debating?

THe thing is they can't debate and mod at the same time. Blame slashdot.

Hey,
disallowing gun advertising is a GOOD thing.

Please wake up.

WTF? That's insane! How do the editors expect any reasoned debate in that case? :-(

it's a problem, but only because people mod down instead of up. with the exception of trolls etc, if people objectively modded posts up, the system would work. the problem is people abuse the system by, as you say, modding down posts they don't agree with.

Dear Webby Awards,

I am shocked and disappointed that Barely18.com did not win a Webby in the "Youth" category! Those girls are plenty young.
