for what it's worth, scanning thru the list of winners of the bloggies, frankly, i see little/no difference between the award winners/nominees and the (for lack of a better word) lower profile blogs that i typically read (and if your reading this, more than likely i mean you). if anything, some of the winners/nominees seem more self-conscious, more written to please an audience (not to mention any names (rhymes with bill keaton)). guess i'm missing the point somehow...
