Hi everyone,
Technorati.com and the Always On Network are requesting nominations for what they're calling the Open Media 100. Quoting David Sifry, CEO of Technorati:
"With the AO/Technorati Open Media 100 list, we are honoring those individuals who are driving the proliferation of Open Media and leveraging the power of community, not an individual or a corporation. The purpose of the list is to provide a framework of this emerging industry. It will include the key players who are proving the impact of Open Media and building the infrastructures to facilitate it."
Nominations can be made in the following categories:
The Pioneers: industry luminaries who created the vision of open media and continue to shape it.
The Tool Smiths: web service entrepreneurs and companies building the open media tools (blogs, social software, wikis, RSS, analytic tools, etc.).
The Trendsetters: the influencers driving and evangelizing the adoption and applications of Open Media.
The Practitioners: the top bloggers in politics, business, technology, and media.
The Enablers: the venture capitalists and investors backing the Open Media Revolution.
I think it would be great if we got some digital divide advocates nominated for this list (maybe we should even push for the Digital Divide Network to be nominated for the Tool Smiths category, if I may be so bold.) So if anyone comes to mind, please feel free to nominate them.
There are two ways to nominate people. The first way is to go to http://www.sifry.com/alerts/archives/000311.html and post a comment that includes your nominations. The second is to post your nominations to your blog (if you have one) with the following tag included in the text:
<a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/AOTechnorati100"; rel="tag">AOTechnorati100</a>
I plan to post my nominations on my blog this afternoon, once I've had some time to think about it.
Nominations are due May 16, so get cracking! :-)
thanks, andy
