Liveblogging the Bloggies
1:29pm - An entire awards show in under 30 minutes. Amazing.
1:28pm - PostSecret finishes out their domination of the 2006 Bloggies with a win for Best Weblog of the Year. Frank Warren is officially “King of the World” for today.
1:27pm - And finally….the Weblog of the Year — BoingBoing vs. PostSecret, who will win?
1:26pm - Lifetime Achievement Award goes to BoingBoing. I *guess* they earned it. Quote from Pesco: “Timothy Leary said to find the others, and BoingBoing is helping us do that.”
1:25pm - Best New Weblog goes to…you guessed it, PostSecret.
1:23pm - PostSecret wins for Best Community Weblog, their third on the day. PostSecret is rapidly emerging as the Titanic of the 2006 Bloggies.
1:22pm - BoingBoing wins Best Group Weblog; Pesco claims the award, saying “this really does mean a lot”. Not as much as millions of readers daily, but a nice pat on the back. Side question — do they each get a certificate, or do they have to fight over it?
1:21pm - JoshuaInk wins his second award, for Best Design of a Weblog
1:20pm - Flickr wins for Best Photography of a Weblog; no fair — they’ve got a billion photos to choose from.
1:19pm - Best American Weblog goes to PostSecret (their second award so far today). All hail anonymous postcards!
1:17pm - Finally some serious starpower….David Pescovitz gets up on stage to present some awards.
1:16pm - Photojunkie wins, and earns the esteemed honor of being the first winner to actually claim his award in person.
1:14pm - Make:Blog wins for Best Craft Weblog; unfortunately it appears Philip Torrone is still sleeping off his SXSW Web Awards celebration, and isn’t here to claim the award.
1:12pm - A flurry of awards we couldn’t keep up with….and no one is here to claim any awards, making things a little anti-climatic.
1:11pm - Opening remarks from Nikolai Nolan (who also sang the “Stacy’s Blog” song)…..and now our first award…..Loobylu wins Best Australian Weblog
1:10pm - Holy crap, he’s still going. This is true commitment people.
1:07pm - A revised version of Fountains of Wayne’s “Stacy’s Mom” (with lyrics changed to “Stacy’s Blog”) kicks off the show — American Idol eat your heart out.
1:04pm - Since the show still hasn’t started yet, and we’ve got like 20+ awards to get thru, starting to hear some in the crowd begin to get tense about the overlapping geekery — watch the entire Bloggies ceremony, or skip out to watch Craig before the biggest awards are handed out?
1:01pm - The tension is palpable, the blogebrity star-power in the room is at full-wattage; now if they will just start the dang thing.

Seeing Nicolai singing a blogging version of Stacy’s Mom was the high point of my show for me.

USA Today finally heard of Post Secret; they wrote the blog up, front page below the fold, like 3 days later. Way to catch the wave early, USA!
