We're nominated for an EPpy Award!

We don't really like to get self-congratulatory at Engadget -- we prefer to let the work speak for itself. Still, we thought it was pretty cool when we heard that we'd been nominated for an EPpy Award in the category of "Best Consumer Technology Blog." We're not alone, either -- the AOL family picked up the most nominations of any one company, with sites likes FanHouse and BloggingStocks getting nods as well. At the end of the day, we don't really care if we win or lose, but it's kind of nice to be recognized for doing what you love and doing it well -- so... thanks!

I'm happy to see this!
I visit Engadget every single day, and make anthony909's words mine: 'congrats you guys rock'!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:32PM]

you guys have the coolest jobs :(

[Jeff Oakes Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:32PM]

You guys REALLY deserve it. Giga-congratulations.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:34PM]

You down with EPP?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:48PM]

I guess. You know who I am.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:51PM]

Yeah you know me.

[el Capitan Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:38PM]

Is that some sort of an Apple fanboy award?

[billmiller Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:46PM]

No...that would be Fortune.com's Apple 2.0 blog that is nominated with Engadget.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:53PM]

Aw man... el Capitan, you should know better. It would be the iPpy award if it were Apple's fanboy award. Come on.

[VanillaSpice Posted Apr 21st 2009 11:59PM]

Yeah! Ha ha! You guys are so funny! Or, you know, you would be if any of the rubbish about Engadget bias and Apple fanboys were true ...

[anexanhume Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:39PM]

YEEEEAAAHHHH!!!!

Wait, what kind of award?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:43PM]

Thank GOD that Gizmodo wasn't nominated.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 3:03PM]

@Aaron
You don't like gizmodo? That's weird. I bet you have a Mac and can barely figure out how to turn on a computer. Just a guess.

[billmiller Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:44PM]

Great...go get it guys!!!

All the best for it.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:47PM]

I'd congratulate you guys, but I don't know what an EPpy is and I'm afraid of things I don't understand. Thus, I'm afraid of you, Engadget.

In before lrn2google.

[electron Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:48PM]

awesomeness! you guys are M-azing! (btw, I have never heard of the other two blogs.. lol )
good job guys!!!

[daddy Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:50PM]

Sweet! What are you giving all of us to show your appreciation? :D

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:52PM]

wait... you're owned by aol?
how can you live with yourself

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 1:54PM]

This is tits!

[SBA1226 Posted Apr 21st 2009 2:23PM]

There's other consumer technology blogs??

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 2:30PM]

I know right? I thought Engadget is the death star of consumer blogs. Josh is blue Darth Vader and AOL is actually an acronym for most powerful weapon in the galaxy: Anal Ownage 4 Life.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 6:27PM]

Anal Ownage? What kind of weird Star Wars fantasies do you have?!

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 2:30PM]

not related to topic, but - is there a way to log in on engadget homepage and see you comments from there? comment system sucks on engadget!!!

[Wassa Posted Apr 21st 2009 2:31PM]

awesome engadget crew! we luv you guys

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 2:39PM]

Gratz Engadget. You deserve it.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 2:45PM]

I guess the functionality of your comment system wasn't taken into consideration. Congrats on the award all the same.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 2:55PM]

I guess it was the "iPhone-like" articles that defined the turning point in this blog. Congrats.

[Joshua Topolsky Posted Apr 21st 2009 3:36PM]

No one likes a spoil-sport.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 3:41PM]

Sorry Josh...

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 9:42PM]

Fuck you, Topolsky, he raises a good point. You guys pander to the apple fanboys because it gets you reads, you don't write shit in the way of real tech news. Dick.

[Joshua Topolsky Posted Apr 23rd 2009 3:53PM]

But how do you really feel? Don't hold back.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 3:36PM]

Its just sad that Engadget is so biased towards apple products, its okay to have a preference but at least be balanced in your posting about other competitors products and point out the bad AND good things rather than just dismissing them because the name doesnt start with "i". That said it is one of the best sites for tech news so here's hoping more balanced reporting will be forthcoming.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 21st 2009 4:00PM]
