Webby Webby Webby Award

Posted on Tuesday, April 10th, 2007 at 4:21pm. #

resource_off_nominee.gifThe hugely talented team I am surprisingly allowed to be in charge of have been honoured with a Webby Award nomination today, for the rather splendid Virgin Radio website.

Webby Awards work in two ways. First, a talented, handsome and sexy team of judges makes the right decision in terms of voting the right website for the category - and, might I just say how lovely and splendid the judges are and how much I trust them to make the right decision.

Secondly, the People’s Voice awards, sponsored by Verizon (who’d be my choice for mobile phone coverage if I was in the USA, but I’m not) allow you, and other stunningly intelligent and right-minded people, to vote for who you think should win in the radio category. Could I ask you to vote for the right people and not other nearly-as-good people?

Vote now if you like, it’ll only take a minute.

Off you go, then.

Congratulations on the Webby nomination.

What do you think it will take to get stations to focus on their web sites more - like you and Virgin do?

When I listen to people like Rob Curley, who is doing some really interesting thing with newspaper sites, he points to visionary management and top tier developers. In fact he argues that if you aren’t hiring the best you’re throwing away your money – because the media you’re competing against (Google, Yahoo, MySpace etc) are.

His latest project – onBeing – is almost television – but I think it’s a branding story about the Washington Post is great story telling, and that Washington itself being more than politicians.

Personally I’d love to see a station with a two button landing page – Listen – Share

Hope you win – It’s a nice site.
