Bloggies

One of the ways I find cool new sites is to search for awards. There's a lot of internet awards, and most of them don't last very long. The Bloggies is an awards site that's been around for six years, now, and I've found lots of interesting blogs there. For 2006 in the category of best american weblog the nominees are:

Cute Overload - mostly for girly girls
Postsecret - juicy secrets
Waiter Rant - he's a waiter and a very good story teller
Dooce - a stay-at-home Mom in Salt Lake City who was a journalist
Go Fug Yourself - catty comments about everything

There's lots more interesting sites nominated. Look at the previous years' nominations, too.
