2005 Weblog Awards

The 2005 Weblog Awards is based on 444,548 votes cast in all categories over 10 days.

To open the eyes of those who still believe that blog is only limited to personal ones, there are over 20 categories awarded, from technology blog to video blog and even parenting blog.

I am particularly interested in the best Asian blog, Xiaxue. The blog received 14,716 votes out of 29,623, a whopping 49.68%. Best of all, it is hosted on blogger.com.

Again, it proves that regardless of the domain name chosen, you still can attract visitors if your content is good enough. The blog owner Wendy Cheng is a Singaporean Chinese. She is another full time blogger with 10,000 readers everyday. I guess that's the maximum number you can get for any blog.

The other blog that interested me is the technology blog. Engadget, Slashdot and Gizmodo are the top threes. Both Engadget and Gizmodo are gadget blogs (ya, who do not like gadgets these days?); Slashdot covers everything, from books, developers to politics and science.
