Answering The Webby Call
The Webby Awards have played a significant role in my life the last few years. Last year the mobile site I manage was a Webby Nominee (which means “Finalist” in Webby speak) thanks to some pioneering features like being the first in the space to let users write and publish review from their phones. Some sites still don’t let you do that! It was close… but I ended up on the losing end of things.
This year was even more exciting because I had not one, but two different Webby Nominee apps (one iPhone, and a totally different Augmented Reality Android app). What are the odds of having two different apps nominated? Well unfortunately, both lost out. Two-time loser and a double loser, ouch.
So what’s next? Well the Webby board took notice of some of things I’ve done in the mobile space… so I’m proud to say I am now an Executive Member of the IADAS (International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences), which is the judging body of the Webby Awards!
Pretty crazy. I’m just a guy who likes phones and technology. All of the over exposure to cell phone radiation was worth it!
