The 2005 Koufax Awards: Best Blog Community
This is a new category this year. As I mentioned in the Best Group Blog post, the increase in Scoop- and Drupal-based community sites, as well as mega-contributor blogs and even sub-blog sites under one roof call for a distinction between "community" and "group".
Voting opens at the end of this week.

Lots of talent's been nominated - but I'm voting for My Left Wing. I comment there, and really enjoy reading everyone's opinion. Though I must say Bring it On is also really wonderful!

Isn't Huffington post some kind of coorporate owned blog?
Does really seem ...fair. But whatever. There good I still vote for BIO.
Seems silly that while voting in several categories it makes us wait. Not that we have anything better to do of course.

E Pluribus Media. Risen like a volcano from a cornfield, this community flies under the radar, digging up all kinds of information on all kinds of people, and--most importantly--putting it all together in a coherent way. SusanG's brainchild, most deserving.

Yearly Kos? That's an organzing committee for Daily Kos's upcoming Daily Kos convention. Not sure how that qualifies as a blog community.

why, because I like the community at my left wing, but clicking on nominees I'm not familiar with, or which I see votes for, I have to say I appreciate the idea that the nominations themselves are the purpose of this award process.

Self-vote alert!
I vote for Bluejersey.net. They're doing interviews available as podcasts with congressmen and senators, they cover the state like a blanket, their news round-up is the first stop for many people looking for news of New Jersey, and the state legislature has taken notice of them. As I have said elsewhere, if you are going to give awards to blogs that have a point of view, Bluejersey.net has that and makes an impression with it.
