And the winner is… (vote now)

Andrew and Ben at SXSW 2009Hi Flutherites!

Andrew and I never got the chance to give you all the nitty-gritty from our trip to SXSW and that crazy award night. Our spirits were high; the tension was higher. The MC called out the nominees, and as I heard him say “Fluther,” those words kept going through my head: it’s just an honor to be nominated, it’s just an honor to be nominated. And after the award went to another site, that’s actually just how I felt.

It really was an honor to be nominated. We’re proud of Fluther, we’re proud of this community, and you all should be proud of what you’ve helped build, too. We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: the site is really nothing without you. So even though we didn’t get a chance to thank you on the podium, I’ll do it now:

We’d like to thank all the jellies in the collective–and especially our moderators, who work tirelessly–for making Fluther what it is.

But let’s be frank. We’re all really in this to win. That’s why we’re happy to announce we’ve just been nominated to the 2009 Webware 100. That’s right, another juicy award. This time you can vote without bothering to verify your email. So, Flutherites, what more can I say? You are the greatest. Now let’s go win us an award.

Webware 100 finalist

Please vote now. It’ll literally take 5 seconds.

    My vote is in. Just so we’re clean on everything, Fluther should have won the top award at SXSW and it should win this one also. Fluther is the best.

  16. Bluefreedom Says:

    That should have said “—-just so we’re clear on everything….”. Sorry.
