Irish Blog Awards?

Damien has posted a suggestion on his blog that there should be an Irish Blogs and Podcasts Awards and he followed it up with a post on Boards.ie so that there could be a discussion about it (Damien’s comments are still broken!).

Do I think this is a good idea? Potentially! If the idea is implemented correctly, it could be a great idea but there have been instances, in the past, of Irish internet awards events becoming fiascos – we won’t go there in this post!

Anyway Damien, love the idea – it will, if run correctly, help up the quality of the boggersphere (don’t you just love that term – kudos again to Damien for coining it!).

  1. I’d veer more to Bloscars, Frank. UCC LGBT already have the Goscars and had the cutest same-sex trophies. (ok no, they were cheap poundshop dolls spraypainted gold)

    Don’t forget the awards are for podcasts too though! What name would encompass both? Oscar got its name from a person. Maybe the awards should be called the Winers? He was involved both arenas from the start.

  2. NO!

    It’ll become the Whiners in no time at all!

    Seeing as we are the next wave of (citizen) journalists, shouldn’t they be the Blulitzercasts?

    Or not!

  3. By the way,

    Not everyone got my Blulitlercasts reference – it comes from:
    BLog + pULITZER + podCASTS

    Duh!

    I have registered the blulitzercasts.com/.net/.info.etc secure in the knowledge that when this becomes an international awards ceremony I will be sitting pretty on my mountains of dosh!

    Not.
