Webby Awards Judges: 25% Shouldn't Be

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

My pal, Ted Rheingold, is receiving a Webby Award this week for the best community site, Dogster, and it's well deserved. Amazingly, this started as a goof (see here and here).

Still, some have suggested that many of the judges are suspect, because they don't maintain an active web presence thewselves:

[from Judging the Judges at the Webby Awards]

As of this moment, with 340 of the Webby Award judges surveyed, here's the count:

Webby Judges Possibly Fit to Judge Because they have Active Web Presences:
251 (74 percent)

Webby Judges Whose Judgment Should be Questioned Because Their Pages Are Out of Date:
30 (8 percent)

Webby Judges Unfit To Judge Anyone With a Web Page Because They Have No Credible Web Presences of Their Own:
59 (17 percent)

No offense, Ted.
