Looks like not everyone is pleased about the MarketingSherpa nominations. Seobook, posting here on Threadwatch doesn’t get why his blog and SEW weren’t included. Neither do I, but find this a little over the top:
Is there any point to awards that do not even list the best choices as an option?

Remember the domain I tried to transfer from GoDaddy, only they set up an impossible scenario in which I couldn’t possibly set everything properly to make the transfer, and was forced to renew the domain with GoDaddy, or lose it?

I’m not a spammer.

…and give him three days to design a version of Internet Explorer that reads CSS 80% as well as every other browser on earth. And yes, I’m including the so-called “browser” program your neighbor’s precocious nine-year-old wrote the other day. Even that one.
