Twitpanto – worth your vote

I’m not usually one to hold much stock in awards, but I like the mixture of democracy and professional opinion that The Shorty Awards has (public vote sorts out a shortlist for such luminaries as David Pogue and MC Hammer to preside over).

Awards in themselves are gratifying, we were also honoured by the Webbys, but it was also a very nice way to round off my close involvement with The Big Picture.
