The other day the winners of the 2005 Bloggies award were announced at sxsw and I think most of it was well deserved, though I am not sure about the more profereally be looked at – but then again I love Gizmodo as much as the next person. I am sure that if everyone had a sponser we could produce a better blog. Some of the others I read all the time and must admit the content is usually very good, these are the higlights for me:
