My vote for Best New is for Filthy Richmond….she is so refreshingly hilarious and so many people just freak out when they read it,..its totally entertaining. It is everything this town needs.
My vote for Best is JGF…anyone who gets fired for blogging and pisses off the locals with sticks up their asses, gets my vote.
I only read these, I will have to check out the others…E

The URL for The Checkout girl should be updated on this post. We couldn’t update it on the survey because that would make us lose all of the previously entered votes.

If you want to vote for something not listed fill out a “comment” in the survey. It’s like when I always vote for myself if a candidate is running unopposed. McClellan, Jennifer L. I AM LOOKING AT YOU.

Hey, Dave. You already got a lock on Twitter. Get over yourself and let other people have a chance.

How about “microblogger” of the year? I’m looking for some talented non-mundane twitterers to follow.

Awesome idea, RVA Foodie. Plenty of bloggers also have hilarious Twitter accounts. What-say-you, RVANews?

18. RVA Foodie says:
A verbose blogger does not a good microblogger make. I’m thinking that Tweets are a whole ‘nuther genre of communication. (16)

Dont even get me started on the Dave Saunders twittering for the Shorty Award. Blatantly obnoxious.

First off that site is fake. The profile is built using Family Guy references showing the person isn’t giving real info but intending to use “borrowed” references and lines.
Second the owner is spamming the site across sites that hit the digg and reddit frontpage. They’re literally spamming the comments with unrelated posts always linking to the site. These kind of spammers shouldn’t be tolerated and shouldn’t be encouraged.
Thirdly comments are heavily moderated to prevent people from exposing both 1 and 2.
