Webby Awards Go On, Despite Failures

from the who-cares? dept

Okay, I'm sure there's some reason to keep the "Webby Awards" going, but it sure looks like a pretentuous party for people who don't want to admit they've been wasting their lives away, instead of creating somewhat sustainable businesses. They're having some big event for it this week, when they should probably be spending their time figuring out which assets should be sold. Actually, some of the nominees are already out of business. Now, obviously, I like the web, but this sort of awards show, pretending it's as big as the Oscars or the Emmys, just feels silly.
