We're Human, We Make Mistakes

Yesterday we published a partial list of finalists, knowing that there may be an error or two and with one lingering question that would affect the finalist slates. We thought we could expand a couple categories beyond 10 finalists (which turns out not to be possible) and published out lists knowing that we might have to change the slates if we couldn't go beyond ten finalists.

Well that has come to pass and we've made the planned changes. The following 5 sites will be finalists in their respective ecosystm categories. Tech Crunch was already a finalist in the Best Tech Blog category where it will remain.

Newshoggers
Kiko's House
The Moderate Voice
My Pet Jawa
Balloon Juice

Sorry about the confusion...

I just found out that you can embed polls from the weblog awards on a homepage. Cool. Supporting us won’t get you a damn tote bag, but you will get regular beer blogging again. And we both know that you can’t get that on NPR." - Balloon Juice

"So I haven't been actively promoting my Weblog Award nomination. Sure, I mentioned it, and I put up a little button, but I haven't told you to vote, have I? I haven't told you to vote once every twenty-four hours, have I? I haven't told you to rise up, my minions, and smite the Internet with your collective force, have I? Have I? Well, now I have." - Looky, Daddy!
