Are we hot?

Is UCC, the first website in Ireland and one of the first ten websites in the world, the most influential? Are our friends in Revenue.ie the most influential or DoneDeal.ie, probably the most successful eCommerce site in Ireland. Media sites like Irish Times and RTÉ, new media kids on the block TheJournal and Broadsheet (hey!) moving online content forward or the champion of all things off topic for decades – Boards.ie
A panel of judges will now decide which of these sites was the most influential in Ireland and around the world.
Entries to the Web Awards are free whereas for other digital awards it can cost up to €150 to enter into a single category. We’ve saved people and businesses €150,000 in nomination fees with our awards this year. Accountants may point out we lost €150,000 in revenue.
The awards ceremony will be held in the RDS Concert Hall on October 15th and tickets are now on sale for €35. 2FM’s Rick O’Shea is the host for the evening. Tickets here
G’wan the revenue.
FIGHT!
The shortlist for ‘Most Influential Irish Site Ever’ is out (Laura Slattery, The Irish Times)
Now that everyone seems to have mastered new technology, can we get back to basics please? The first sentence above needs a second comma.
That whole first paragraph reads very badly.
All the same, go Broadsters!

I want to punch Rick O’Shea in the face.
Rick ‘Shea is a very nice man.
Agreed. I was also not a fan until I met him. Egg-On-Face.
I used to work with Rick. A nicer guy you could not meet…
Ha haaa
How could we tell?
“New media kids on the block TheJournal and Broadsheet ”
“New’? “Media” – quick on the uptake innit?
“New media kids”
What’s with the chins ? Soft food ? Nanu Nanu ?
Someone left the lid off the Superglue
It’s a nod to the TV Show Silicon Valley which was nodding to Steve Jobs
One person at it was ok…but a chorus of chin-rubbers? Awkward.
I think they’re wiping something off their chins. Wonder what?
Cameron Diaz’s hair gel?
Popular soup in Cork’s Chinatown: Creme of Sum Yung Goi
The Greek equivalent of Dunnes’ Back to School posters had a loada schoolkids doing that Steve Jobs pose too. Shark’s been jumped.
I wasn’t in the Greek equivalent of Dunnes, they were in the windows.
Congrats BS
When an industry has an award ceremony it just displays that somebody somewhere realised that that industry has too much money and too many idiots ‘working’ in it.
People who love to be loved, because in real life everyone hates them
Academy Awards, BAFTAs, Oscars, Tonys etc.
Where’s my award for the 12 second long fart I let out last Monday morning?
-My wife kicked me out of the house. I had to buy me lunch in the shop.
It’s just a bunch of drunk no-hopers all drawing the dole on the side, so who cares.
Wait hold on. They have had 1000 submissions?! Am I doing the sums wrong?
What is the point of these awards? a big obvious corporate brand isn’t going to give a stuff if it wins one of these.
Whereas to a small company doing something creative or quirky web wise it could mean a lot to win – they should ban all of these big brands that win every year. If you’ve won once you can’t enter again etc.,
The point is that it’s DAMIEN MULLEY AND HE”S VERY IMPORTANT AND LIKES TO USE THE C-WORD ALOT. Can he design? No. Can he programme code? No. Has he got any patents to his name? No.
Does he have a resentment against Dublin, the Web Summit, real technologists and innovations, and does he show people how to use Facebook and Twitter? YES.
I’m going ta enter mine now
Since I’m on a bitta’ ve a winning streak
Anyone up for a bitta sideline backroom team stuff?
