Webbys: Best of the Web
The winners of the Webby Awards were announced yesterday and I noticed a few blog.li.og.ra.phy favorites in the winner columns!
Notably, TED in the category of Best Use of Video or Moving Image and FactCheck as the people's choice for best website in Politics. The Huffington Post was the Webby winner in the Politics category. The Guardian (UK) was the winner in the Newspaper and Podcasts categories, with the New York Times was selected as the People's Voice winner in the Newspaper category and Webby winner for Best Copy/Writing, among others.
Even better, looking through the list of Webby Award winners and nominees I discovered some cool new websites!
Exporatorium (The Museum of Science, Art and Human Perception)
Evidence: How Do We Know What We Know? A Case Study in Human Origins -
Science and Education nominees
I can't say it any better than they do: "This project uses case studies to examine how scientists construct a functional understanding of the world by gathering, assessing, and making use of scientific evidence."
SmARThistory - Education Webby winner
"[A]a free multi-media web-book designed as a dynamic enhancement (or even substitute) for the traditional art history textbook." Fun and educational!
Wired Science blog - Science People's Voice winner
Even though I love Wired magazine (People's Voice winner in the Best Copy/Writing category), I don't regularly read the science blog. Some very cool stuff here, even for a non-scientist like me. It also makes good use of photos and video, which gets a thumbs up in my book. (If it wasn't so time consuming, I would do it here more often!)
The Atlantic - Magazine Webby winner
I'm a fan of the magazine, but never spent any time on their website. A great place to look for research ideas or get your research project started!
Less research-related, but still highly recommended is...
NPR Music - Webby and People's Voice winner
NPR is also Best Radio Webby winner and Best Podcast People's Voice winner
This is the 13th year the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences has honored excellence on the Internet with their Webby Awards. So much good information, so little time!
