So, it seems to be that time of year - where everyone is handing out awards or naming their best of. Well, the blogosphere is no exception. I'm quite delighted and humbled to have been nominated in three separate events:
Canadian Blog Awards
MyNameIsKate.ca is a finalist in the Career/Professional Blog category
Best of 604
MyNameIsKate.ca is a nominee in the Favourite Company or Business Blog category
Canada's Influential Women in Social Media
I've been nominated as one of Canada's influential women in social media.
Lists and awards like these inspire a lot of discussion and debate. I try to find a balance of being grateful that someone took the time to put my name down and not-believing-my-own-press. :)
I tend to agree with Rob Cottingham when he says that possibly the chief benefit of awards like these is the discovery of other blogs or people you didn't know about (Rob's fantastic Noise to Signal cartoons are nominated in both the CBA and Bestof604 in the humour categories). And also the delight that some of my favourite bloggers and socmed women are getting some well-deserved recognition.
So ... it would be wonderful if you took a minute and voted for me :) And doubly so if you take another minute and choose a blog or a person you'd never heard of before and visit their square of the red carpet.
