Hey guys, we just wanted to share a little bit of good news with you. We just found out that both Engadget as a site and
The Engadget Show have been nominated for Webby Awards! Now of course, we feel like the work we do on the site speaks for itself -- with or without gold stars -- but we thought this was a pretty cool nod and wanted to tell you. You can vote for us in the runnings (if you'd like) by registering at the Webby Awards
site (we're in the
Marketplace / Consumer Electronics section for the site, and
Online Film & Video / Technology for the Show). We won't force you or anything, but we'd love your support if you're into what we're doing. We'd also like to say thanks to you -- the reader -- for helping us get the word out and spread the Engadget message; we would quite honestly be nothing without you. Thanks!
Note: The Webby Awards are sponsored by AOL (Engadget's parent company).
Sponsored, not produced or selected by AOL in any way.

Sounds about right. I've downloaded every single one so far...
@futurerheza
Congratulations! It's well deserved!
@ferrara101
Congrats!
But I don't like that your disclaimer has a disclaimer.
@ferrara101
I for one think that Engadget deserves whatever awards it can get, this is by far my favorite tech blog, everything from the fanboi wars, to the sleek and simple look of the site.
I honestly check this blog, about every 3 hours or so, maybe even more. Like when I am siting in class and the teacher leaves for a bit, I pull out my pre and go straight to Engadget.
This tech-blog has ripped me away from the likes of g4 and attack of the show, providing unprecedented coverage to the technology I care about most. Forget cnet, forget gizmodo, Engadget.com is where it's at.
Funny too me that most of the people who complain about Engadget are the same people who went absolutely crazy when they turned off the comments a couple months ago. Great job Engadget I hope you win both categories, keep up with the good work :-).
p.s
-please add rating system to your reviews such as 5/5 or A+
-please add an editing feature so that we can edit graphical errors in our comments.
GO ENGADGET!!!! :-)
@Engadget
I would vote for you if you fix the #*&$%&^# comment system.
I have F5 + Resend a good 20-30 times before my comment goes through.
Apple fans rejoice!
You deserve it!
What category? Best Apple Blog? I kid, I kid. Keep up the good work and keep that EVO news coming...
@Ipadkiller
GTFO ipadkiller
@Ipadkiller So what have you done to kill the iPad?
@Ipadkiller
weird, I think it's more pathetic to troll as much as you do.
Anyway, congrats Engadget :D
@Ipadkiller
sipped a little too much mountain douche today?
@Ipadkiller
I think I speak for everyone when I say: shut the hell up. Pretty sure the article says you don't have to vote. Stop bitching.
- sent from my apple iPhone, god I lead a pathetic life.
@skyblaze yo thats awesome lol mountain douche :p Don't blame me if I use that in the future :)
@werty1432k
i prefer royalties in cash, kthnx =)
@Ipadkiller
wtf. I would have bet that if anyone bitched about my comment, it'd be some loony Apple fanboy not liking the cut of my jib. Never thought the capitalization police would come after me. But since everything I know about technology I learn on Engadget (shameless Webby plug, I take cash or check), you may want to take this up with the editors since "EVO" (big letters) seems to be the universal standard.
congrats, despite your overwhelming coverage of anything apple..grrr!! but it's cool to be updated with new techs daily. keep up the great work guys
@inspiron41 I feel like sometimes Engadget should start an iNgadget blog dedicated to Apple news.
Anyways, congrats Engadget!
Congrats Engadget! If you do win the Webby, don't get too bigheaded and forget all the little people who helped you along the way!
(btw, I voted and you're ahead 44% to Wired's 33%).
@Center the empire has no need for little people.
u got my vote!
So a website run by AOL, nominated by AOL, is up for an award from AOL, judged by people from, you guessed it, AOL.
Nah, no conflict of interest there.
@AppleFanboyHater They're sponsored by AOL, not "run by." That's like saying Engadget is run by its advertisers.
@Joshua Topolsky
Hey Josh...
How about we make a deal. We the British (and other foreign Engadget readers) vote for Engadget if you guys get some competitions which we too can enter.
Whadya say? You know you wanna...
@AppleFanboyHater PWND!
@Ebzy
+1 I'd love some competition goodness over here in the UK, make is so Josh, we believe in you.
Congrats guys. The show has been great, keep it up!
Fan since day1.
You truly deserve it - Ryan and Josh as (former) editor(s) in chief and the rest of the staff. You do a great job - every day.
I personally understand why Engadget did what they did. It's similar to what's happening to CNet's comments where half the people go on there to troll and leave comments that add nothing to the article. I now prefer to get my technology news from Engadget now instead of CNet.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
@ChazClout
anyone remember the game super smash tv? I remember the announcer guy yelling that every so often mid game.
Is this like the Streamy awards where you have to pay to play?
Congrats, it's well-deserved. The Engadget Show is actually pretty innovative for a tech news blog. Good luck!
@Ipadkiller My disclaimer was the big AOL logo on both pages.
Congratulations Josh Topolsky and crew...
When you win and give your acceptance speech don't forget to mention your number 1 commenter/sexy anime mascot
...getting off my high horse, I have a question. Remember that feature you guys said you were gonna do? The one with the showing off what gadgets you have in your bag and whatnot?
looking... looking... Oh! This one!
http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/unbagging-joshua-topolsky/
Is this still on? You invited us to be apart of it, yeah? Sounds like fun, and I swear I have nothing X-rated... (i think) just wanted to know, thanks!!
@skyblaze We did do one another (with some user submissions) here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/unbagging-peek-ceo-amol-sarva/ -- but you're right, we need to pick it back up!
@Joshua Topolsky
Wow, how in the world did I miss that? K, then... look out for a submission from me in the near future!
Congrats :)
If Engadget wins, do we get to come on stage?
@Ipadkiller
LOL Wow.
My comment was deleted. I have been a veteran Engadget reader since about 2006 however am no longer going to use it after today. Since Ryan left the level of Apple news has gone through the roof and DELETING COMMENTS? Jesus H Christ. Get over yourselves Engadget.
"if you're into what we're doing"
does that refer to being informative about technology or making a ton of money from a hobby?
Congrats! The nomination is well-deserved.
Yay engadget!
@Ipadkiller
I can verify that. I also had one of my comments deleted today, just for saying that international delay of ipad was not a BREAKING news.
@Beatnik I guess they are looking for comments that strike discussion about the product/event/whatever else, not about whether or not something deserves to be labelled 'breaking'.
Congrats and thanks for all the hard work and continued excellence. But it always seems a little strange to have this sort of thing as a "story" from a trusted news source. Maybe a blurb on the home page, but popping up in an RSS feed seems like the wrong place.
"We won't force you or anything, but we'd love your support if you're into what we're doing. We'd also like to say thanks to you -- the reader -- for helping us get the word out and spread the Engadget message; we would quite honestly be nothing without you"
WoW, wonder what jerks like nilay patel think about that?
you know?.. the guy who says, no negative comments, this is our house, come and see but dont piss, i am a lawyer and I am going to screw you etc etc., :-)
Well... I was a little miffed with the delayed Joo-Joo coverage in anticipation of "the revolution" and all but you backed it up nicely with a great, detailed review of an Asus laptop and some pretty darn good coverage of a new pair of MS phones (Kins).
All in all, you do a pretty fair job with your "reporting" and I mostly enjoy reading it.
However, since you're asking for my vote and all, I feel obligated to say this: you should be ready for "troll-ish" comments from your readers when you regularly insult people (Brooklyn-ites, "Hipsters", value-minded consumers, etc.) in your own articles. You come across as more than a little hypocritical when you go deleting equally standoffish remarks.
O engadget u beleive palm reads ur post's so I hope u read mine .....
U guys have a wonderful website I think u guys have done a great job with it u have also created an app for the iPhone / iPod and android market and blackberry devices my question 2 u guys is if u guys r so tech savy then y can't u guys fix ur apps for those devices what I can't say anything about the palm devices or the blackberry cause I have not tried them but as far as the other 2 I have and they need fixed really bad on some of the stories not all the pictures won't show up because they r a flash file or somthing else idk u think some1 there would be able 2 fix this also some of the videos won't play also u have 2 manually save stories just 2 view the photos offline o well I'll leave it at that with a half ass storie just as u have made a half ass app thanks
