Webby Award nominations. Others have said plenty about this, although for the record I think it’s perfectly appropriate for Fray to have been included in the community category. At the same time, I agree that it was a drastic oversight that MetaFilter wasn’t included. There are several other community sites that I would also have liked to have seen – and I find it interesting that no old guard VC sites were included. Last year’s winner (Cafe Utne) came from the old school.

There’s a mysterious
story by Declan McCullagh at Wired News today: Journalists Protest Gag Order. Evidently it has something to do with a piece published on the Montreal indymedia site – but a gag order was served in Seattle. It’s all very confused now, but I’m curious to see what happens, if anything.
Suck speaks the truth
: Jocko Homo; or how banner ads could actually work if people used them better. It’s easy to say, I know, but this has been my mantra for a long time now. Banners have to click through to something with an immediate payoff for users – content that they can rely on, content in a format they don’t normally see, content that’s tied to a specific event. And the banner itself has to communicate that – and never diverge from the principle. Cause as soon as someone clicks through to something lame, they may never go through on that site again. Banners aren’t a revolution in advertising – but nor are they useless.
