Shorty Awards - Twitter Oscar

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

    imageAbout a month and a half ago, the Brooklyn-based Internet company Sawhorse Media launched a new project called the Shorty Awards . He pursues a noble goal - to find and collect the best twitter users of 2008, according to the Twitter users themselves. Several categories were presented (e.g. apps, humor, business, startups, education), in which users were invited to nominate the best twitter users in their opinion. To do this, you just had to 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 they selected five (in one case six) best in 26 official categories, and the voting began with renewed vigor. The final will last until midnight on January 23. Then the winners will be announced, who will be waiting at the award ceremony in New York on February 11. The organizers of the ceremony plan to gather people from all over the world, so they kindly pay for the trip to New York to all the winners.

    imageTaking the opportunity, I want to ask about something of all the habra-people who have twitter accounts. About three months ago, I posted 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 birth” (a year after writing the first tweet). So, he was nominated and successfully selected for the finals in the startups category (yes, I know that this is not a startup, but there is no turning back). Now @hanniversary comes in 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 in the Shorty Awards Finals for #startups because i like it
