Shorty Awards - Oscar Twitter

“Hollywood has the Oscars. Broadway has the Tonys. Now Twitter has the… Shorty Awards? ”
- New York Times

About a month and a half ago, the Brooklyn-based Internet company Sawhorse Media launched a new project called the Shorty Awards . The goal he pursues is the noble one - to find and collect the best twitter users of 2008 according to the twitter themselves. Several categories were presented (for example, apps, humor, business, startups, education), in which users were asked to nominate the best in their opinion of twitter users. All you had to do was write a special tweet. Also, users could create their own categories that did not affect the main competition, but were only for fun.

The first stage lasted about a month, after which the final began, in which five (six in one) best cases were selected in the 26 official categories, and the voting began with a new force. The final will last until midnight on January 23. Then the winners will be announced, who will be expected at the awards ceremony in New York on February 11. The organizers of the ceremony are planning to gather people from all over the world, so they kindly pay the trip to New York to all the winners.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, I want to ask about something all habralyudey who have twitter accounts. About three months ago, I wrote a twitter bot @ hanniversary , which reminds users that they are close to the “anniversary” number of tweets (for example, 666, 1000, 1111). Also, the bot will write you a message on the day of your “twitter-birthday” (the year after the first tweet was written). So, he was nominated and successfully selected for the final in the startups category (yes, I know that this is not a startup, but there is no going back). Now @hanniversary is in the first place with a margin of about 30 votes, but the rivals are very serious guys and they are not asleep. I want to ask you for help. If you want to help, support a compatriot, or you are just a kind person, then write this tweet:

@shortyawards I vote for @hanniversary of the Shorty Awards
