Bloggies 2005

The nominees for the 2005 Bloggies (the fifth Annual Weblog Awards) have been announced. All you’ll get at this moment at 2005.bloggies.com is a “Bandwidth Limit Exceeded” note [update: the site is back up], but Troubled Diva did some Technorati detective work to come up with a semi-complete list of the finalists. The list includes:

Weblog of the Year

Boing Boing
www.boingboing.net

Gawker
www.gawker.com

Wonkette
www.wonkette.com

Best Computers or Technology Weblog

We Make Money Not Art
www.we-make-money-not-art.com

Best New Weblog

The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami Blog
tsunamihelp.blogspot.com

Best Web Development Weblog

Mezzoblue
www.mezzoblue.com

Best Food Weblog

Simply Recipes

Techbook in the meantime noticed the superb Google result when you enter “Bloggies” (all the top results are to the distinct Bloggies page for each year, down to 2001)... the ranking works so well here, you think the result was edited by humans.

These, by the way, are some of the winners of last year:

• Weblog of the Year: Boing Boing
• Best New Weblog: Blog for America
• Best-Kept-Secret Weblog: Tequila Mockingbird
