Kittens. Look at him there, the one on the left is Phillip. Until now, he was having a whale of a time. Vote for Boing Boing Video (formerly Boing Boing TV) today in the Webby "People's Voice" Awards, or Phillip gets it.
Yes, that's right, this is shameless self-whoring, taken to the proverbial "whole 'nother level," fueled with the power of kittens. Tomorrow's the last day to vote, so I am not messing around.
Here is how it works.
(1) Mouse on over to The Webby People's Voice voting site.
(2) Click "Online Film & Video."
(3) You will be prompted to register in order to vote. This is a pain in the ass, but it's part of their system for accurately counting votes.
(4) Boing Boing Video is nominated here in three Online Film & Video categories: TECHNOLOGY, VARIETY, and BEST HOST.
(5) Do the right thing, and the cat lives.
OK, seriously, there are a lot of great video projects nominated in the People's Voice awards this year, and here's the truth: indie web video is hard work, long long hours, tougher than ever in this economy, doesn't pay well, and I see a lot of dedicated, talented colleagues listed there who are also deserving of your votes. People get excited about this stuff because it makes up for all the late nights in dark studios, subsisting on Red Bull and stale Chex Mix, and it's like the whole world giving your project a friendly pat on the back. So, serious voice here, even if you don't vote for Boing Boing Video, vote for one of the indie web video projects you see here — it's what Phillip would want.
