November 11, 2008 I was just putting the final spit ‘n polish on the Edublog Awards this afternoon (it’s our 5th year!) when it occurred to me that it would be a rather good idea to run a WPMU awards too!
You know, something that allowed people to showcase their (and their clients) WPMU sites, share ideas and get some nice badges going. Us guys don’t get enough credit do we :)
So, whaddya reckon? Do you think we could fit one in before Christmas?

I think its a good idea! I nominate myself…
Yes it sounds great. You must got for it. I love wordpress and blogger both.
Awards are a really good way in promoting stuff and it works pretty well most of the time, why not use this for wordpress. So I would suggest: Go for it! I´m waiting for an WPMU Award in 2009!
Yup, that would be really an awesome idea. True talent can be seen when there is a competition for awards. It would be a really good idea. And since no one has ever done it before as I know it would be great. All the best. Looking forward for it.
This sounds like a great idea. It’s about time somebody organized that.
Yeh,that’s a really cool idea. I certainly would love to participate and win awards too. When are you guys planning it for? Keep us posted. Cheers
Awards like this is a good way to motivate the community to share information as well as to recognize the individual for their contributions and achievements.
