Forget the Oscars or the Baftas - meet the Weblogs
Every industry has its once-a-year, back-slapping, gong-awarding extravaganza - and it's no different for Blogs.
But whereas the Oscars are heading towards their 80th ceremony and the Baftas towards their 61st, the Weblog Awards are comparatively in short trousers.
Only 63,000 votes were cast for its first awards back in 2003 when blogging was in its infancy - although it's good to see that its inaugural "Best Blog" winner is still going strong. In the 2007 awards, more than 500,000 votes were cast.
The overall winner was a blog we've already featured on iPM - Post Secret - while the Best British Blog was awarded to Neil Clark.
Here are links to the best food blog, the best technology blog and the best culture blog.
Many of the awards went to Americans - but 25 year old Adrian Sudbury, from Sheffield, won the section for the best medical/health blog
His blog tells the story of his battle with leukemia. We're planning to speak to him on the next iPM - but we want to know your recommended blogs.
Have you seen any blogs with great stories that more people should know about? Are there blogs you read on a daily basis? Have you come across really moving, thought-provoking blogs that you feel ought to have a wider audience?
Share with us what you know about the best blogs in the comments section below - and we could feature them on iPM in the future.
