Twitter continues to gain credibility and popularity. The second-annual Shorty Awards are proof of this fact.
They may have a cutesy name, but Shorty Awards are no small feat. As put by the New York Times, “Hollywood has the Oscars. Broadway has the Tonys. Now Twitter has the… Shorty Awards.”
On its Web site, the Shorty Awards state its purpose:
“The Shorty Awards honor the best people and organizations on Twitter. These unique awards are for the Twitter community, by the Twitter community. Online voting is public and democratic, culminating in an awards ceremony that recognizes the winners in 27 official categories as well as those in brand new crowd-sourced ones.”
Votes are cast via Twitter, and must include the Twitterers name (@name), the award category (#category) and a reason.
Show your favorite Twitterers some love by nominating them for a Shorty Award. Even if they don’t win, you’re sure to give them a boost of confidence!
