MinOnline's Best of the Web 2008 awards, which recognize "outstanding Web sites and digital initiatives among consumer and b2b magazines" were presented this past Monday at a luncheon at New York's Grand Hyatt Hotel. And while it's probably safe to assume the ceremony was wholly lacking in long-winded musical numbers and over-styled starlets with categories like "Microsite/Custom Website" and "Uses of Interactivity" how could one resist.

This year's big winners included Newsweek.com's "Voices of the Fallen" - a feature that gathered together the emails, journal entries and letters of one hundred soldiers who'd died in Iraq - for "Best Integration With Print;" Meredith's Better Homes & Gardens, which snagged "Online Team of the Year;" and thedailygreen, winner of best "New Site."

Perhaps in some small measure of the times in which we are living Passport, a blog by the Editors of Foreign Policy, beat out nymag.com's entertainment blog Vulture in the "Blog/s and/or Videologs" category. Also of note, the New Yorker, ever at the top of their game (and where short fiction is concerned, often the only one playing) won for its Fiction Podcast.
