Best Technology Blog Nomination
Smashing Magazine has been nominated for the Best Technology Blog in the 2007 Weblog Awards, the world’s largest blog competition. Being the only web design-related magazine among other nominees, we’re competing against mighty Lifehacker, Engadget and Gizmodo which are long way ahead of us. However we strongly believe that together with thousands of further smashing readers you can make a difference.
The voting closes November 8, 2007; you can vote once every 24 hours, as determined by your IP address.
Thank you. We appreciate your support.
The team here at Smashing Magazine. Mostly Sven & Vitaly.

Hmm sorry, I don’t think Smashing Magazine can stand up to sites like Engadget or Gizmodo or Lifehacker.
I love Smashing Magazine but it is not a technology weblog but a web developer weblog and that is a limited technology (if I might call it like that).
Congratulations on your nomination, but I didn’t vote for you. Best web developer weblog: you have my vote.

Well, I voted for you :) Good luck

I don’t subscribe to any of those other blogs, you get my vote(s)!

I subscribe to a whole load of feeds in my reader and a few are listed on that site – R\WW, Engadget, LifeHacker – but while they likely have FAR more page views than Smashing Mag does, I would bet my life that the overall quality isnt nearly as high as SM is and thats why you got my vote.
It seems that the editors here always have smashing articles. I am a true believer in quality over quantity and SM does a good job keeping the quality high and not giving us filler posts.
Keep up the good work!

Voted! Gizmodo and Endgadget will win though, I hate to say it. They just have a raw user machine behind them.
- 10November 7th, 2007 5:52 am
Good luck guys! It’s going to be tough to go up against Engadget and Gizmodo in this category, but we’ll see… :D
- 11November 7th, 2007 6:31 am
I’m in for anything I can do to get the word out about Smashing Mag.. Good luck – i will vote as many times as I can ;-)

You’re one of the best web development blogs
you had my vote :) - 13November 7th, 2007 10:05 am
Yay! I was hoping you’d notice so the votes would catch up some! (Voting started last week.)
- 14November 7th, 2007 11:01 am
cong, good luck
- 15November 7th, 2007 1:19 pm
I voted for you cause you’re surely the best development blog I read from many years… But seeing other websites, I think there’s a mistake : they are not in the same categories as yours. You’ll perhaps not be the winner of this contest, but be certain you’re better than others in the web development sphere…
Best regards from France and good luck!

Voted for you guys… But as much as I love e articles, you guys write… the masses out there love their gadgets. It’s not easy to go against the masses.

I voted for your site because it’s one that has great content that’s updated on a frequent basis. Definitely a daily read.
Thanks for all your work!
- 21November 7th, 2007 9:38 pm
Even if you don’t win this competition, you are still, by far and away, my personal favorite & most useful weblog.
- 22November 7th, 2007 9:40 pm
Sven, Vitaly,
Congrats on your nomination. Whether you win or not, this says a lot for the work you’ve put in this past year.
Onwards and upwards.

Already Voted #1 by SM readers
- 27November 8th, 2007 2:38 pm
I’ve been voting for you. Can’t understand why Engadget or Gizmodo are doing so well. They don’t appeal to me at all. Lifehacker is good site, but this is the best.
- 28November 8th, 2007 5:53 pm
Have voted for you guys!
Great site you have, check it everyday. By far the best blog site I have found! Well done! - 29November 8th, 2007 6:18 pm
