Engadget takes Best Tech Blog in the 2006 Weblog Awards!
We got word tonight that the Weblog Awards posted their results for the 2006 vote, and it looks like Engadget is going home with the title for the third year in a row! Seriously, thanks a lot for the support everybody -- not only in this, but in keeping the Engadget community thriving and vibrant all year long. As in the last two years your humble tech news site went up against some extremely stiff competition, which is why we're all the more flattered you voted for us. So no need to send us a holiday card or a bottle of bubbly, we'll stuff this in our stocking and thank baby Jeebus that we actually have the privilege to do what we do for a living.


















congrats! you guys deserve it.
Word. Congrats, Engadget!
Great job I like your site heep it up.
Well deserved, Engadget.
Keep up the good work!!
Congratulations, keep up the good work...
And don't let your AOL masters turn this into an advert site...
Congrats wish you the best in the future too.
Congrats guys! Not much I can say, good work!
congradulations engadget, keep up the great work you are truly a great site and deserve this award.
best of luck now, and in the future, and have a happy holiday :)
Yes, engadget, we love you. Don't screw it up.
We've been at it since early 2004 (20 technology years), I think we've had enough time to figure out how to do our thing! It really does warm the cockles of my heart, though, to know how much people care about this brand we've built.
Yay!!
I voted thrice.
Congratulations, Engadget!
Congrats Engadget. Had to get yer back 3 times for this voting event.
Although at times, I prefer Giz over Engadget, the lack of being able to voice my opinions on the former is frustrating, thereby allowing me the privilege of lending support to ya'll! congrats again and Merry xxxMas!
congratulations. well deserved and keep it up.
Engadget knows about Baby Jeebus™???
Congrats!
Congrats! We knew you would do it!
There have been some questionable posts as of late, which seemed to offend some, including myself. But I keep coming back every day. Great job, well deserved! Just don't let it stroke your (Engadget's) pride too much and it will be deserved year after year! :)
We are genuinely happy about the brand you built, and not at all jealous or upset that you're making nice living doing this. We just hope you guys keep your irreverent every-man attitude, and fun-loving way you do your job. Don't sell out! (Spiritually speaking, of course... I hope you make a ton of money doing this.)
Also, be nice to your little brothers at Gizmodo, they seem very sad that they didn't win.
"Save me Jeebus!! Jeebus!!!!!!!" I love that episode.
Congrats Guys!
So, How about those contests?
its not nessecarily cause engadget is so good but cause gizmodo lick very much butt crack. they dont let anybody post on their site which is mucho annoying. but then again engadet is a beast and by that i mean the not hairy kind.
if u hear engadget before you see him its cause hes got king kong king king king king kong in his trunk.
Congratulations to you writers and us fans and supporters!
Now, let's not throw away our reputation. We all know what to improve, right?
i agree i like yall cuz yall let everyone have a say and comment and even though i sometimes go to gizmodo i like engadget for one the site looks alot cleaner and gizmodo is just plain cheesy looking with pole strippers and sex toys thier more comical engadget is serious
now thier over there licking thier wounds just check thier recent subjects out on the main page it has a fat sumo guy as engadget i guess
engadget dont even stoop so low as to have a rakishi (x- wwf wrestler) or sumo style guy sitting on a toilet called gizmodo (giz-comode-o)
Engadget is the best. There was absolutely no doubt that you guys would not win.
Congrats!
Congratulations engadget!
Congrats Engadget!!! Well deserved! Btw....who won the Samsung TV contest??!!
The reason you guys are the best is simple: you are great at what you do, but more importantly, you love what you do. It is obvious in the posts you make and the professionalism you show. Kudos; I hope one day to be on the other side receiving accolades from readers instead of giving them.
This maybe considered trolling, but the only reason I am commenting on here is to get Engadget to here me out. Engadget, I've been following you for a long time now since your site began and I even went to a couple get togethers of yours. I gotta tell you from a loyal reader, that your lucky someone hasn't come out and taken your crown. The advertising is KILLING ME. Not the fact that your making money which I wish you more of, but the fact that it takes aways your credibility. You have ads advertising for Apple when your commenting on how much better it is over Microsoft. You also have Verizon ads, which if I'm not so sure about, a couple years ago weren't WE ALL at war with Verizon and Sprint over bluetooth sniping. Come on Engadget watch your ads.
Lastly, get more technical. I am not talking about your How-To's which come from guest writers, but I am talking about your reviews which for the most part focus on Astetics instead of what really matters. I know what your saying, if I wanted technical I should just go to another site, but as a news site you would benefit greatly from getting more technical in your descriptions instead of just lame editorializing where you insult the company (thats easy to do when the company is microsoft).
Anyways, I wish you guys the best, and congrats again.
We have a strict separation between advertising and editorial. We don't believe Apple is better than Microsoft; a lot of people think we believe Microsoft is better than Apple, it's often a matter of personal perception. Either way I don't really care who's advertising on the site because it has absolutely nothing to do with my job. We've totally bashed companies that advertise with us, that's just how it goes!
Otherwise, we are also concerned with more than just aesthetics. I'm not entirely sure which site you're reading but we try and discuss the whole package, inside and out! There's more to any device than its case, but there's also more to it than a spec sheet, too.
congrats from your reader in jakarta!
Congrats Def. Well Deserved!
To elaborate on Big C's comment, just keep that car ad off the site, I think it's a Chev. one...you know the one with the young brunette jumping and waving her hands, signaling you to "come here" and totally annoying the hell out of me from the corner of my eye just to get my attention...if I have to put up with that ad anymore I'm going to shoot myself...and that will result in a lost reader.
Enjoyed Talladega Nights i see :P
Congratulations Engadget!!!
You've become my far one of my favorites geek news site :P
Man i love sweet baby Jeebus ....... but i couldn't eat a whole one.
Does that mean more Ads?
Maybe we can get a Pepsi add on here or maybe a Cadilac ad
Where's my PS5 suckas??????????? I'm holding you to it, i got proof!
Congrats, keep on truckin.
Congratulations guys (and gals), you deserve it!
Keep it up and I'm sure you guys will get it again next year!
Congrats guys! I only wish you'd been up for best blog! Why do they have to keep you only in the tech category?
congratulations Engadget, you guys deserved it.
Good job, Ryan and the rest of the Engadget team! Congrats.
Sure i will not vote for you again until you guys Announce the winner of the nikon d80...or are you just keeping for yourselves?
Engadget's the best there is...no doubt...many imitators but only one Originator.
