Week by week, I’m seeing more and more great Odysseus Medal nominations. To get to a short-list of twenty posts — which still<\/i> may be too long — I’m having to cut some very good weblog entries. In consequence, this week I’m showing the rest of the long-list as well as the short-list of People’s Choice candidates.<\/p>\n
In both lists, the posts are shown in random order. People will tend to favor the top or bottom of a list, so I’m trying flatten the curve of outbound clicks so everyone gets the exposure.<\/p>\n
Vote for the People’s Choice Award here<\/a>. You can use the voting interface to see each nominated post, so comparison is easy.<\/p>\n Voting runs through to 12 Noon PDT\/MST Monday. I’ll announce the winners of this week’s awards soon thereafter.<\/p>\n Here is this week’s short-list of Odysseus Medal nominees:<\/p>\n < ?PHP include (\"092307ShortList.php\"); ?><\/p>\n Deadline for next week’s competition is Sunday at 12 Noon PDT\/MST. You can nominate your own weblog entry or any post you admire here<\/a>.
