Engadget takes Best Tech Blog for 4th year running in the 2007 Weblog Awards!

For the fourth year running we're extremely honored that our faithful (and fanatical) readers came out in droves to ensure we were awarded Best Tech Blog in the annual Weblog Awards! Although at first we weren't immediately sure who actually took home the prize since there seemed to be some ballot stuffing (or at very least a number of huge offices all swarming to vote), the Weblog Awards team spent the weekend poring over the their server logs and proved without a doubt that the title once again lies with Engadget. Of course, the honor is actually all yours: you're the ones who support the site and voted for us. So here's to you -- and us. Together forever.

-Your pals at Engadget

[David @ Nov 12th 2007 9:15AM]

Congrats guys!

[Jeff @ Nov 12th 2007 9:51AM]

Seriously!

I appreciate that I can come to this site and actually get a variety of gadget news instead of a dozen of "Ipress releases" and iPhone related fluff stories. Your writing is top notch and I really like that you guys can take criticisms without banning people for having the nerve to state it. A much more mature gadget website.

Silly rabbit, Giz is for kids!

[Andir3.0 @ Nov 12th 2007 12:05PM]

So, this may sound like a dumb question, but where's the link to the Weblog Awards page? There is one, right?

[qbix @ Nov 12th 2007 12:10PM]

I agree with Jeff. Overall, you guys just seem a lot more mature than those other guys, and you are definitely more informed, which became quite evident when listening to your podcasts. Passionate about gadgets and respectful towards your readers, that's why Engadget deserves this award. Keep it classy guys.

2 major reasons why Gizmodo lost (Engadget is guilty of the first, but thankfully not the second):

BY OPUS13I AT 12:45 PM

"Engadget got 26,347 votes to our 26,027, a difference of a fraction of a percent."

that would be because engadget actually posts on a -variety- of gadgetry, not just the "apple and everyone else" barf-fest that gizmodo has become.

Maybe if gizmodo didn't ban people for expressing their views, maybe the web world would be a little bit more supportive of this web blog. This site has went to shit over the years (writers and content), I feel like it's a high school/college gadget site now. They deserve what they got, 2nd place for a 2nd rate blog.

[loci @ Nov 12th 2007 3:10PM]

love us...please love us

[Rajkumar @ Nov 12th 2007 9:18AM]

Congrats!

[CUBSWILLWIN @ Nov 12th 2007 3:59PM]

Big congrats from me! Engadget is a blog that deserves more than an award. It deserves an applaude. An enterance in blog hall of fame (if there is one) and it deserves the respect of many more people on this earth. Today I congratulate engadget and for many years on I probably will still be congratulating you guys. From your deciated reader in Chicago.

[zargon @ Nov 12th 2007 9:19AM]

Finally, this means no more of those posts begging us to vote.

[andi @ Nov 12th 2007 9:35AM]

yes, luckily.. and thanks Engadget for proving us that all these contests mean jack :) Some'd have wasted countless hours, had they pointed out all the inconsistencies, mistakes or utter bull-poo displayed here...

apple fanbois, rejoice!

PS: there ARE good posts on this site, but sifting through all in order to find a good one is tedious

[Generic @ Nov 12th 2007 10:43AM]

andi I am not usually rude to people (even online) but do you really even care about knowing about gadgets. I have a feeling that this website is not really for you so get lost. Oh I forgot to say please. Please!

[Sean @ Nov 12th 2007 9:20AM]

The use of the term "forever" seems kinda creepy guys!

But congrats!

[bugmat @ Nov 12th 2007 9:59AM]

I agree congrats Engadget...but uh..forever?! Slow your roll fellahs!

[Ryan Block @ Nov 12th 2007 11:17AM]

Um, joke?

[Ian @ Nov 12th 2007 9:21AM]

Yes, I was one of those responsible for the Engadget win (as in "I voted for Engadget). But don't thank me now, Engadget - there's plenty of time for that in your big Black Friday giveaway!

[zfurie @ Nov 12th 2007 1:50PM]

Oh hey congratulations engadget overlords!!!!

[zfurie @ Nov 12th 2007 9:23AM]

oh hey congrats Engadget overlords!!!

[Jagannath A @ Nov 12th 2007 9:28AM]

nah you got it wrong!!

I for one welcome our award winning blogger overlords.

;)

[tallen @ Nov 12th 2007 9:25AM]

Definitely congrats, it was well earned. I was kinda nervous towards the end because of how fast gizmodo caught up with all their cheating and even with their cheating they still couldn't beat you. So Congrats!

[Carbonize @ Nov 12th 2007 12:08PM]

All their cheating? What planet you live on?

[Suresh @ Nov 12th 2007 9:27AM]

Congrats guyz, hats off. best tech blog ever.

[Christian @ Nov 12th 2007 9:31AM]

So today I suppose those giz-losers are not to happy. Just kidding, I love their blog also, although I like Engadget just a little more for some unknown reason. Maybe it's because I discovered their blog through Engadget.Congrats on the victory, but if you want to win again next year, you guys may want to come up with some weekly stories were readers give you guys key questions you want answers to from the tech heavyweights of the industry or something, because the Apple news isn't as enduring to readers as it has been in the past.

[zervin @ Nov 12th 2007 9:42AM]

Gratz guys, between engadget and npr, I get all the news I need!

[Ike Turner @ Nov 12th 2007 9:32AM]

I demand a recount!

[NoK610 @ Nov 12th 2007 9:35AM]

Congratulations... keep up the good work!

[Greg @ Nov 12th 2007 9:38AM]

Congrats!

[exst @ Nov 12th 2007 9:39AM]

Free gifts for everyone?

[Alex Knutson @ Nov 12th 2007 9:41AM]

Excellent work guys. I've only been a reader the last few weeks, but you guys are fantastic at your job. I look forward to the many years of juicy tech updates I'll be getting from Engadget. Thank you for that.

[JD @ Nov 12th 2007 9:42AM]

Congrats!!!

[stranger @ Nov 12th 2007 9:44AM]

congrats guys!

ENGADGET FTW!!!

[athousandleaves @ Nov 12th 2007 9:59AM]

ENGADGET FTW!

[Chino B @ Nov 12th 2007 9:52AM]

Engadget owns Gizmodo!!

Congratulations! wohooooooo

[Skemo @ Nov 12th 2007 9:49AM]

Gizmodo is ten times better, but congrats none the less! Your apple fanbois come through again!

[Sam @ Nov 12th 2007 9:51AM]

i read somewhere that the creators of engadget were part of gizmodo...something happened(?) and they formed engadget
which is now the reigning tech blog. hm...

[rob @ Nov 12th 2007 10:00AM]

You guys suck. You're all a bunch of arrogant, self serving, hypocrites. You exist just to advance the Apple empire by spreading fud against everyone else. Oh, and you need to go back to high school and repeat freshman English too.

[Jagannath A @ Nov 12th 2007 11:08AM]

hi gizmodo

[a ham sandwich @ Nov 12th 2007 11:17AM]

um, wtf?

[ASquared @ Nov 12th 2007 10:05AM]

Congrats! Engadget FTW!

[Generic @ Nov 12th 2007 10:09AM]

Together forever.

^-- I feel gay (no intolerance implied).

still CONGRATULATIONS

[StrangeBum @ Nov 12th 2007 10:20AM]

Just don't say 'I love you' or go out in drag anytime soon and I'm sure you're fine.

But honestly. Together forever. I'm an engadget loyal.

Again, I made my comment, but congrats again guys!

[Generic @ Nov 12th 2007 10:28AM]

LOL

[StrangeBum @ Nov 12th 2007 10:16AM]

Congratulations guys! You are indeed the true winners. I don't know what I would do without my engadget fix each day. I get the most timely news, and some of the most viable news in the gadget world (aside from the occasional 'for fun' post).

You guys keep me updated on all happenings and I often find myself knowing about things that I hear about much later in the news or from other sources. You wouldn't believe how many times I was able to tell my friends who are employees of BestBuy about things happening at their workplace before they had heard anything about it.

Here's for one more year of being the best!

[hh83917 @ Nov 12th 2007 10:21AM]

Congratulations to Engadget! And I did vote for you guys once everyday btw. But then again, you guys are the best anyways!

[Matthew P @ Nov 12th 2007 10:27AM]

Congratz! Engadget

[stankychicken @ Nov 12th 2007 10:31AM]

congradulations, this doesnt make up for all the iphone converage that you f*cked us with for so long though.

[Wes Lawson @ Nov 12th 2007 10:35AM]

Engadget rocks!

[Muhammad @ Nov 12th 2007 10:39AM]

Congrats peeps. It's a great blog

[Rynth @ Nov 12th 2007 10:39AM]

My RSS ticker would be very quiet without all the tech-goodness from this site.

Congrats guys! Have a beer on me.

P.S - The beer is not literally on me - that would be wrong on so many levels.. - but instead, I'll foot the bill.

[John @ Nov 12th 2007 10:45AM]

I hope it all pans out

[Bennett @ Nov 12th 2007 10:47AM]

Closest result in four years.

I think you do deserve this award, but you might think about resolving the 'trick out your home theater' contest sometime soon...
