Who Has The Best Web Presence in L.A.? Winners Announced for L.A. Web Awards!
From Google Wave to mommy blogs to TechCrunch's Mike Arrington "stealing our tweets," 2009 was a booming year for the Web and social media scene. To celebrate, LAWeekly.com is hosting the LA Web Awards 2009 and asked you to nominate the best in 36 categories. Who gives the best tweet? What's the best site for gamers? From over one thousand nominations, a team of expert judges from LA and SF's online communities -- including Kevin Pereira, Andrew Nystrom, Gabe Rivera, Travis Keller, Sean Percival, Aubrey Sabala, Mike Prasad, Shira Lazar, John Resig, Maya Baratz, Andrew Sorcini, and VVM new media staff -- combed through the sites and selected winners. And to keep it fair, none of the judges voted in a category they're affiliated with. Check out the winners below and stay tuned for information on how you can win a spot on the guest list for our private party at Bardot on January 21st to celebrate 2009's best online.
