Satin Pajama awards

The results of the utterly fantastic 1st European weblog awards were announced on 1st February. It's a great way to find new weblogs outside your usual circle of reading. I only have two objections. These are European awards so why is it Pajama and not Pyjama? Also why were there categories for France, Germany and the UK but not other countries? I would have liked to see Best Polish Weblog or Best Italian Weblog for example. It's very uncharitable of me to gripe though. I don't like it when bloggers snipe at each other as we're all doing this for fun.

Guy from Non Tibi Spiro,winner of weblog most deserving wider recognition, writes:

The most important thing, however, was that we all became aware of each other. Europe is in full transition mode and we will be facing tremendous challenges in the future. We need to hear each other’s voices, communicate across the borders of our respective countries and develop our own unique discourse.

There are also new sites to be found on the Bloggies. Including this one. For some reason the word 'subversive' comes to my mind when I read it. (And that's subversive in a good way Xiaxue). I also like What's New Pussycat?

All in all, well done blog award people. :-)
