If you've been reading the blog Mashable , you'd know that there's this Open Web Awards. Users like you and me are free to nominate any site we think deserves an award and the rest of the world votes. It's actually a 2 tiered contest, nominations are rated and only a couple of hundred get to join the voting round. Aside from the people's choice awards there is also a judged round where nominees face criticism of Mashable's top 30 critiques.

Anyway, it's all done now and here are the results. The Winners will be awarded on January 10 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco and will receive the honor and bragging rights (there's also some prize money that I don't know about).
