Web 2.0 "awards"
The very first award I looked at was the one under the "books" category (what did you expect??) and I was very surprised and disappointed to see it was a website for self-publishing. I know it is gaining in popularity, and maybe the site is fantastic, but to have a site like that beat out Worldcat (which got an honorable mention!) told me a lot about these awards. To me, they lost all credibility with that one award. It led me to wonder if these awards are bought and paid for. I have no way of knowing that, but I can't help but be suspicious.

Thanks for sharing that! I'm in the process of conceptualizing a presentation, and I am glad to see that I'm on the right track ... though I do admit that the animation thing is fun to play with!
