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!

I suppose I will go ahead and vote for our own site, Young Philly Politics.

I cast this vote not merely out of home team bias, but because I truly and honestly believe the best blog community can be found at:

My Left Wing

double_curve.gif

TPMCafe.

double_curve.gif

Daily Kos

double_curve.gif

TPM Cafe, head and shoulders above the rest. A most impressive cast of regulars, and improving all the time.

double_curve.gif

My Left Wing

My Left Wing, natch

My Left Wing is the coolest community around.

No question, that is a community and then some.

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.

Very close between Panda's Thumb and TPMCafe, but I'll give the nod to TPMCafe.

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.

My vote is for Booman Tribune.

Not only do they write for their own blog greatly, they also helped Bob Geiger out when he went on vacation and they did a terrific job.

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.

TPM cafe -- what Pyjamas Media wanted to be on the right and what Town Hall thinks it is on the right, though both are like Kindergartens comparing themselves to Oxford Graduate programs.

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.

Street Prophets...I dunno...a bunch of people who can talk religion from EVERY viewpoint (they even have a couple conservative evangelicals) - and not get pissy and run people off?

Pretty impressive community, if you ask me.

double_curve.gif

My vote goes to Bring It On!

double_curve.gif

The Agonist. The second oldest (after KOS) and hardest working crew around.

double_curve.gif

Daily Kos

double_curve.gif

ePluribus Media -- citizen journalism, fact checking, and community

double_curve.gif

Street Prophets - there is that amazing diversity of viewpoints without acrimony - and you can swear, too. It's a community that really cares about its members - we laugh, cry and support one another.

My Left Wing. More than a community, the place is a dream. A pleasant, provocative and supra-mundane dream. By rights such a place would be implausible, yet there it is, pushing the boundaries of the real, radiant with liminality.
