Mashable - The Social Media Guide: Open Web Awards: The Finals

  • Nigel Eccles · 1 year ago
    Thanks to all our fans who voted for Hubdub in the social news category. I can't believe Digg didn't make the cut however the way they have been kicking off users over the past couple of months perhaps it isn't so surprising.

    Awesome picks! Twitter and Scour yaaaay!
  • Jason · 1 year ago
    The non-profit finalists are awful. I can't find a thin on any of them that makes me want to engage further in their cause or mission. How is a petition site for a do not call list social?

    Thanks to everyone who voted for the KaBOOM! Playspace Finder in the Non-Profits cateogry!

We have been working hard over the last year to provide the best we can for our students and have big plans for the near future to continue our pursuit in helping students get better grades in less time!

    Your Celebrity & Gossip list is crap. Out of your three finalists one of the sites is down for repair, one is a Bollywood site, and the other one is adult oriented picture site. Kinda missed the mark completely.
  • Lesley · 1 year ago
    Thanks everyone for voting for http://www.hubdub.com. We appreciate the love!

If you like what you see, please (continue to) vote for Regator in the Social News category. Congrats also to Hubdub and HARO, our worthy opponents in this category. Yay! Woot!

    Thanks to everyone who voted for

    Thousands of volunteer editors on wikiHow work hard to produce our how-to manual. And we are delighted to be included as a finalist. Thanks again for your support.

    Many of these sites have no traffic - and a couple are down (404).

    So how are the votes decided? Was spamming controlled.

    (Is this good for Mashable's rep?)
  • Pete · 1 year ago
    Yes, we have tight controls on spam. All votes are verified via email.
  • Vik · 1 year ago
    Thanks for all the nominations for FitFiend.com!
  • Edgar Governo · 1 year ago
    It occurs to me that some sites might be down because they weren't ready for the attention (and increased traffic) of getting into the Final Round...but then, only Mashable can say how much total referral traffic they're generating now. :)

    In any case, congratulations to my friends at Regator for making it through. Time to go vote...again...
  • RICH · 1 year ago
    Thank you for everyone who has graciously voted for (PL) platinumlounge.com and put this online media company into the top 3 in the mainstream/social network category!

    ma.tija you must be smoking something. We drop-kicked MySpace and Facebook, and you're next!

    Let go of the haterade!
  • PLATINUM LOUNGE · 1 year ago
    OH MAN I WOULD LIKE TO SAY CONGRATZ TO PLATINUM LOUNGE FOR MAKING THE TOP 3 FOR MAINSTREAM SOCIAL NETWORKS. WE ARE FINALLY ON THE MAP!! NOW IN 110 COUNTRIES! HOW YOU LIKE US NOW???

  • ThriveBlogger · 1 year ago
    Glad to see Sprout in the finals! So easy to use and filled with tons of features, it's like a web based PhotoShop for building widgets. I guess you know how I voted :)
  • Nigel Eccles · 1 year ago
    I'll be voting for you Andraz. Zemanta is an awesome application.
  • BracletSeeds · 1 year ago
    Surprised that Facebook didn't make it but it's probably because users didn't know about the awards or Facebook didn't advertise it.
    Happy to see Polyvore on the list though. An awesome place to tweak and refine your design and styling skills.
  • Pete · 1 year ago
    Actually Facebook was a *very close* fourth in its category. There were very few votes splitting them from the others.
  • ma.tija · 1 year ago
    @Jamay agree, mashable should post vote breakdown :) no, seriously
  • 2psycho · 1 year ago
