We’re on the Tech Junkie category sample sites list, that means we’re a shoe-in!
As of this writing, the nominations for this years Globe #TattAwards are open for the public. What that means is that online personalities, bloggers (like us), and social media gurus are currently being championed in by their fans into one of the biggest awarding events in the business – kind of like our Emmy’s, if you will. During its awards ceremonies last year, it named a few powerful bloggers, fashionistas, video bloggers, indie rockers, and thought provokers. This year, Globe has expanded the categories into 10 from last year’s seven – allowing for more styles of online media to be recognized.
The ten new categories include:
- Stylisimo – Nominations here would include popular fashion and style blogs. We particularly like Mr. Kevin Yapjoco’s BespokeManBlog.com.
- The Explorer – Nominees for The Explorer should include travel blogs and other social media personalities that promote tourism or “exploring”.
- Game Changer – This category is supposed to be taken literally as it refers to sports blogs and athletics.
- The Visualizer – Photography blogs and other photography related social media personalities.
- #Thought-Mover – Not sure why its called this, but the #Thought-Mover category is supposedly for the most trending hashtag online.
- Video Slinger – Vote your favorite online video personalities here. Familiar people in this realm would be Petra Mahalimuyak, Bogart the Explorer, and Mickey Bustos. (Who won the award last year.)
- Indie Rocker – A spot for your favorite indie band trying to break it into the social media streams
- The Advocate – The official tag is that this category is for “do-gooders”. We say you can be an advocate of anything and that should be the only requirement, right?
- Tech Junkie – A category we might even say we belong to. This is awarded to the technology-related blog site or social media personality that the judges, voting, and nominations would believe to be the best. If you’re so inclined, we’d love for you guys to nominate TheTechnoclast.Com for it.
- The One – Supposedly the most coveted social media award that can be given to any social media influencer. We suppose this means you surpass even your own category and become influential everywhere.
For a quick rundown on the mechanics, you can check out a video by Petra Mahalimuyak herself just below.
And there you go. As we’ve previously mentioned, nominations are ongoing now and up until May 20th – so you’ve only got a few days left to nominate yourself, your favorite blogs and personalities, or even us. Hop on over to TattAwards.com to do that now, or read more about it.
