Nominated For The 2nd Ping.sg Blog Awards
July 5, 2008 – 1:55 am | by Daryl TayI must really apologise for not blogging much this week. I think it has been the least I’ve blogged since I’ve started the blog, but work has really been tough (though incredibly enjoyable).
The 2nd Ping.sg blog awards (blog aggregator in Singapore with about 3,500 blogs) have their nominees and I’m nominated in three categories:
(for “Are Bloggers Really Influencers?”)
(for “Why Plurk Over Twitter #3: Organic Conversations“)
Thank you to those who nominated me. If I’ve ever talked to you (in person) about why I blog, you know it’s not for the “fame” or money (I don’t even have ads!), but it’s really just me trying to share my love for this fascinating new digital space with you, and hopefully help spread the word about social media and how it can help you in your personal life, academic life or professional life.
I didn’t nominate myself for anything primarily because I thought it’s be a good gauge to see what the community finds valuable. I think the fact that the community has chosen two posts in particular that are aimed at convincing businesses that bloggers are indeed influencers and fostering conversation and community tells me that locally, the people who’re reading are listening and finding some value in it, and that is very, very encouraging.
So do check out the awards nominees page and vote for who you like. I’m not going to ask that you vote for me because looking at the nominees across the board, I think the community has already won.

I am never involved in anything ping.sg and not a big fan of such “awards”. To me, you easily beat alot of others, with your insights and great passion for social/ new media. There are only a few local bloggers (usually, the ones with less frivolous blog content) that I read and follow and you are definitely one of them.
All the best there!

@Michael: Thank you!
@Kris: HAHA! We’re like nominated for opposing categories!
@Priscilla: Thank you so much! That’s super high praise indeed! I must say I’m not a huge fan of such awards either (that’s why I don’t enter myself in them), but it’s nice that people feel like it’s worthy to be nominated =)
