Best Of The Web 2008

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.

A complete list of winners and finalists can be found here.
