The Top 7 Surprises
at the 2004 Webby Awards

7> The cumbersome Web site evaluation process are replaced by the more popular “Top 5 Reasons Our Web Site Should Win This Award” on-stage playoff.

6> Trophies filled with pamphlets reading “Enlarge Yours!” “Refinance Today!” and “Meet Single People!”

5> Joan and Melissa Rivers’ pre-show trashing of the nominees’ choices of background color.

4> First prize: 1,040 free AOL hours. Second prize: 2,080 hours.

3> Unanimous winner of the award for Best Blog Content? None of them!

2> When Howard Dean’s “DeanForAmerica.com” loses the award for Best Political Site, he exchanges duelling primal screams with M.C. Steve Ballmer.

and the Number 1 Surprise at the 2004 Webby Awards…

1> Bill Gates’s “wardrobe malfunction” leaves no doubt as to where the name “Microsoft” came from.
