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

CheckoutGirl keeps me smilin’ each day with equal amounts of sass, ass, and smarts.

She’s one smart cookie.

just my $.02

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.

Great, thx, Valerie! :)

Meade Skelton?! Denied??? No Way!
Ross Catrow on January 28, 2009 5:21 PM said:

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.
Dave Saunders on January 28, 2009 9:03 PM said:

Crap. I thought I had been nominated. Oh well, I’ll have to go vote for Tobacco Avenue now. (I hate that guy.)
Lynn S on January 29, 2009 9:58 AM said:

I am happy about my obscurity. :) Go Buttermilk!

Hey, Dave. You already got a lock on Twitter. Get over yourself and let other people have a chance.
RVA Foodie on January 30, 2009 12:31 PM said:

How about “microblogger” of the year? I’m looking for some talented non-mundane twitterers to follow.
Grumpy Techs on January 30, 2009 1:29 PM said:

Awesome idea, RVA Foodie. Plenty of bloggers also have hilarious Twitter accounts. What-say-you, RVANews?
RVA Foodie on February 02, 2009 10:46 PM said:

A verbose blogger does not a good microblogger make. I’m thinking that Tweets are a whole ‘nuther genre of communication. (16)
bob on February 03, 2009 8:54 AM said:

agreed rvafoodie, its a whole different ballgame. but be assured, if RVANews makes one, Dave up there is going to be plastering it EVERYWHERE like he did with those darn Shorties.
Greg on February 03, 2009 11:57 AM said:

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

Excellent site, keep up the good work
Liper on October 23, 2009 6:05 AM said:

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.
