Vote for BMG in the Phoenix “Boston’s Best” Poll!

By

We’re pleased that BMG has been named one of the five 2008 contenders for Boston’s “Best Blog/Podcast”!  Others in the running are Universal Hub, Allston 02134, Jon Keller, and Dan Kennedy.

If you’re inspired, head on over to the Phoenix’s poll and send some clicky-love our way!

UPDATE: As mojoman notes in the comments, the voting process is a couple of steps.  You select the blog you want (*cough*BMG*cough*) on the screen at the link we’ve posted, then click “Submit.”  Then you have to tell it that you’re finished (“Skip to Finish”), fill out the form, and then click “Submit” again.  Not the most user-friendly thing I’ve ever seen, but nobody asked me anyway.

Please share widely!

  2. You need to eventually get to this page (scroll down) on the Phoenix site in order to submit your vote. They also prompt you for an email address at the very end of the process.

    p>If you only go to the single poll that lists ‘Blogs’ (to select BMG), without getting to that ‘Finished Voting?’ page, I’m afraid it will be a vote cast into the ether.

        • Using my email address is usually the best practice.

          p>Impressively, the man widely regarded as the top political analyst in New England (and I say, why not the world?) has started pimping himself:

          So I respectfully ask for your vote in the Boston Phoenix Best of ’08 balloting (vote here) where we’ve been nominated for best blog. Don’t do it for me. Do it for truth, justice, and to horrify the other nominees. (Just kidding!)

          P.S. The Phoenix has also nominated us for best TV broadcaster (vote here), against formidable competition.

          p>Using accepted rules of legal construction, I believe we can conclude that if competition in the TV area is, “formidable,” Mr. Keller thinks less of competition in the Blogs and Bartender categories.  

        • ugh, I was merely trying to indicate where the submittal process took you, not anything about putting in an actual valid email address. For the record, Bob’s worked well.

  5. Jon Keller as best blogger? Huh? Even Dan Kennedy is a lazy choice (no offense, Dan). Clearly, BMG should win out of that group. And the Allston blog seems boring. I wouldn’t even pick that among Boston’s best city blogs (that honor, I think, would go to the China Town blog… which I actually read frequently). Universal Hub is decent, but I typically don’t like blogs that aren’t ‘thinking’ blogs… and instead are more of a glorified RSS feed.
