We’re Black and Blogging: Social Media and 2008 Black Weblog Awards

tndmedia — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:04:25 +0000

The internet makes the world smaller, instead of chatting to strangers in AOL chat rooms, people now blog, podcast or what they call social network via myspace and other sites. I have been aware of online personal journals since 2004, attempted to start two blogs focusing on black cultural arts in Jacksonville (latest via my personal myspace), developed a music podcast of neo soul, acid jazz and hip hop (called nokturnalescape radio) in 2007. This year, 2008, I really became interested in alternative media (social media) as a better way to receive and communicate ideas and information. I now subscribe to 40-50 blogs and podcasts through Google Reader on music, personal finance, politics and other random information, have profiles on myspace, facebook, imeem, twitter, attended the first annual Blogging While Brown conference and registered a domain name and launched this site www.tndmedia.net (basically the world according to me).

Can you believe this community has its own awards ceremony, well here is the low down. If these are blogs that are selected in 2009, I will be much more prepared because many of these blogs I have only heard of and not subscribed too. Well regardless, I voted in the 2008 Black Weblog Awards, below these are blogs (or podcasts) in category plus some “blogs I actually read” that should have made the cut but didn’t.

Best Community Blog: The Urban Blogger. I discovered this blog while listening to a panel at the Blogging While Brown conference in Atlanta.

Best Design: Soulbounce. I know this is about design, which I like but also read most of their posts via Google Reader or Twitter, the music content (neo soul, R&B, hip hop) is on point.

Best Blog Post or Blog Series: The Black Snob – “The Associated Press Totally Steals My Black Conservatives on Obama Story” While I prefer the series on the relationship between black woman and their mothers, this series was my second choice. But this is hard because I love the brown female version of Sex In The City, Funky Brown Chick.

Best Business Blog: One Organized Life Blog. It reminds of blogs: Zen Habits and The Simple Dollar

Best Celebrity Blog: ?uestlove (of The Roots) very descriptive and random aspects of his life.

Best Culture Blog: Conversate is not a word., This post about Michelle Obama is the first post I read, got me to subscribe and keep me reading. She’s Bringing Brown Back.

Best International Blog: Black Women in Europe Blog. just a guest-estimate based off the selection at quick glance.
