This weekend (tomorrow, in fact) has the first ever Vloggies, which are awards to honour the very best Videoblogs out there. Despite my own reservations about calling them vloggies, and calling them videoblogs (the term to me seems to refer to talking-to-the-camera video diaries, but in this context is extended to mean video podcasting, as well), I’m very excited to see how they come out.

Why is that, do you ask? Because two of the shows made by your fine, fine hosts are up for consideration. There’s my show (dotBoom), and Julie’s show (Almost There), both of which are very great and, vlog willing, will take home a statuette. Or plaque, or sticker, or whatever they’re giving out.

What are they giving out? Is there a prize? A statue? A firm handshake? I’ve no idea.

Rumor has it that two from Nontourage (makers of Almost There) will be making the trek tomorrow to San Francisco to attend the ceremonies; hopefully they’ll be picking up some statues for themselves, and one or two for me, too.

Seriously, though, best of luck to all contenders.

And, oh yes: the official vloggies site.

UPDATE: Congratulations to our very own Julie for winning TWO Vloggies! One was for best Female Vlogger (along with Sarah Atwood), and the other was for best music. Congratulations, Julie!
