UPDATE: It is official now, here’s a screencap from the Bloggies page:
I really like the fact that they used a thermometer in the design.
===============================================================
This was truly surprising. According to the Bloggies Facebook page, WUWT has been named the first ever winner of the Best Science Blog category (new this year for the Bloggies), beating Wired and Boing Boing, both of whom have way more reach and traffic than we do. I suppose it demonstrates the loyalty of our readers.
I have no idea as to the votes or margins, all that remains hidden, and probably for good measure. No voting wars broke out with this contest like we saw with Climate Audit and Bad Astronomy in 2007, and that’s a good thing.
I’ll make no speeches like Sally Field’s famous 1984 Oscar speech: “You like me, you really like me!” which is actually a misquote, and a popular parody.
I’ll simply say “thank you dear readers”, and leave it at that. I also owe thanks to the many moderators and guest bloggers that make WUWT what it is. You are winners too.
I have a temporary badge up, a permanent one follows when they have it all completed. The main page here http://2011.bloggi.es should have the announcement soon – Anthony
Me I’m out.
Never had a weather girl worth spit.
I kept hoping the girls on this blog would do photo.
Gratz mate. Good blog. I used to be a blogger. I know good blog.
Yaar, yer give me wind I will sail me wind, barometer, sexant, compass and a friendly star. I can find the home port.
Me I hunt merminks. I hunt mythology.
Good blog.
And I’ll add a congratulations, Anthony, to the long list.
Nice one Anhtony. Congratulations
How did Surreal Climate do?
But Realclimate.com was “Climate Science from Climate Scientists”.
I must have missed something.
congrats Anthony 🙂
To Anthony, the mods, and the contributors, well done!
I’ve addded to the prize with another USD 20.11 in the tip jar.
Mods I was here before you were, before Anthony even. But the evolution is about the spirit of science.
The balance and Law of science preserved as it must be.
Me I’m just a soldier in Law. No cheat it’s legal. I pulled a lot of votes over a lot of days.
Well done! Much deserved. The truth is out there.
Sweet. Congratulations. Is the prize a holiday in the Maldives? Is so, will you be allowed to take your voters along?
Hey… Does that mean I can say I write for an award wining science blog now 😉
when WILL exxon send me that cheque? 😉 [sarc off]
No cheat no stack I never asked anyone. My people don’t cheat.
Lurker years pay off. My people don’t cheat.
¡Felicitaciones!
from Spain
Well done Anthony and the rest of the WUWT crew!
Hmm, it took poll daddy a while to populate the comments with thumbs. Hope this isn’t a sign of slow page loads to come.
Yay!
Chalk up another one for Anthony and The Mods (Doo-wop, doo-waaah…)
Well done to Anthony and the wattsupwiththat team.
It’s come to something, for me, when I decided not to bother voting in the national elections last week but thought it worthwhile to vote for WUWT..
Well done Anthony- knew you could do it.
My hunt takes me elsewhere.
But please believe me, I am one of the first bloggers in truth actually the first blogger, if I say well done, I mean it.
This is what scientific blogging is about. It’s about open not closed.
I mark hard, that’s 10. That is where we must be.
Congrats Anthony…never a doubt in my mind… a solid testimony and great reward fro a lot of hard work…long may it continue.
Congrats Anthony and Mods! Also, it looks like a hypo- not a thermometer.
The best has won.
I feel proud to be one of the people who voted for you.
Keep on the excellent work you do.
Anthony
Obviously, not everyone shares our view of WUWT’s success, there are a couple of anal retentives, probably of the AGW persuasion, who voted thumbs down on just about every comment here – that must be a tedious process, even for small-minded individuals.
Very many congratulations and I hope the news gives every member of the Team and the other purveyors of bad science a very bad day.
The truth will prevail.
Cream rises to the top.
Any other questions?
Congratulations. It was the only blog in all the lists I voted for. I read this every day.
Fantastic..!!
The Oscar winner of science blogs.. Even better than a ‘King’s Speech’ in my book.
Keep up the excellent work
