Please note that we're pitted against <a href="http://tsunamihelp.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">SEA-EAT</a> and there are 10 nominees in all (too many. 5-6 should be ideal). Well, the more I look at it, the more I see flaws in the way the awards are designed. If I'm inclined, I might just rant on it later.

Don't look at me. <a href="http://jroller.com/page/debashish" rel="nofollow">Ask Debashish</a>. He's the organiser. And the tsunami site shouldn't really qualify. It appeared a fortnight ago and it may not be very relevant two months from now. But what the heck... Yes, the award design is flawed. Don’t look at me. Ask Debashish. He’s the organiser.

I think it’s easier to shoot brickbats now. Yazad: It is never too late, we can always try and improve on the mechanism. I have repeatedly asked people on the methodology and whatever has been done was based on the responses received. While you complain that nominee count is too much, others are complaining why they were left out; as I said difficult to please everyone. As for prizes, thanks to all the sponsors I think we have a decent lot for all category winners this year, last time we had peanuts. For me the highlight of the event is the Nominee list, my own Bloglines subscription list will grow after the event, this is what I actually strived for, the voting is just a gimmick (for we know technically it can never be fair).

One of the reasons I didn't accept was the fact that you refused to reveal your identity. I don't think it's such a big deal to hide behind anonymity. When it's open, there's a lot of credibility as well. (Which may be the reason why you publicised the juror list). However I do think the idea is good. And instead of ranting, what I will do is suggest changes to make Indibloggies better next time. Debashish, I was invited to be a juror.
