New Statesman New Media Awards

I attended the New Statesman New Media Awards ceremony last night, the blog didn't win, but did get high commended (I think this means "2nd place"). In my category - the Open Democracy was a highly deserved winner, do check the site out. The other notable winners were the two MySociety sites, pledgebank and writetothem - two truly useful,innovatory and brilliant sites and mostly done by volunteers. Read the winners list.

Thanks to everyone who sent some nice messages of support beforehand.
