2006 Webby Award Nominees Announced

Travel Blog  •  Michael Yessis  •  04.13.06 | 12:36 PM ET

Webby Awards are given in dozens of categories, two that are of direct interest here: travel and tourism. As with the ongoing traveler vs. tourist debate, I’m not quite sure of the difference between the two categories, and I’m not sure the Webby nominators are either. For instance, coolcapitals.com, one of the nominees in the travel category, is credited to, um, the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions. Nominees were announced Tuesday. They are:

TOURISM

  • EarthCam

    •    

  • Great Australian Spaces

    •  

  • MadeinMTL.com

    •  

  • Select Italy

    •  

  • www.newzealand.com/travel

    TRAVEL

  • Expedia.com

    •  

  • Google Maps

  • LonelyPlanet.com

    •    

  • TripAdvisor

    The 10th Annual Webby Awards ceremony takes place June 12, 2006 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York, and it will be relatively brief as acceptance speeches are limited to five words. Rob Corddry of the Daily Show will host this year.

    Just my take, but I would have included World Hum and afterwilma on the nominee list.

    Thanks, Ron. Have I ever told you that you have impeccable taste?

    After Wilma is terrific. I recently added the site to our links page.
