Short: 2009’s “Best Windows Website Contest” started… 3 days ago
For those that spending countless hours maintaining what you think is the ultimate Windows-related website, blog, or forum: Submit your site to the Best Windows Website Contest running at The Windows Club. If you’re picked for one of the top five slots, you could win anything from an I’m a PC shirt to a serious collection of Windows 7 and Office software!
Your scrutinizing peers include myself and these other old farts:
Ed Bott, MVP, EdBott.com
Paul Schottland, Product Unit Manager for Microsoft
Steve Sinchak, MVP, Tweaks.com
Lowell Heddings, HowToGeek.com
Howard Lo, Microsoft’s Regional Team Manager (APAC)
Emil Protalinski, Ars Technica – One Microsoft Way
Corrine Chorney, MVP, Security Garden and The Windows Club Moderator
James Fisher, MVP, Windows Talk and The Windows Club Moderator
Anand Khanse, MVP, The Windows Club Administrator.
You have nothing to lose by submitting, so don’t be a lazy bum.
Too bad my website is in German T_T
my site doesn’t count… I can’t think of any description beyond “crap on a page” for the site, and there is no title to really describe the complete and utter uselessness that the site has.
@Vincent Bethmann,
Your site is eligible as long as it has a language translator widget. If it doesn’t have a translator widget, you may wish to request an Invite for the Microsoft® Translator Widget from http://www.microsofttranslator.com/Widget/.
Thanks for posting about this great contest, Rafael. Even if you don’t think your blog/site will win, it will give you some exposure for a few weeks. The judging will be a mix of different folks as well as the forum membership, so you never know what may transpire!
Sorry, the second sentence above was directed to anyone reading my post, not Rafael directly. :)
Some of those aren’t just about Windows; they can be all-around Microsoft too.
Paul Thurrott’s winsupersite.com is by far the best Windows site in the world. Why isn’t it listed?
@Corrine: That would be great. I am currently using Google Translation which you can choose on the intro page if you click “English”, but I would prefer a Translation Widget as seen on The Windows Club.
@Jonas: It is up to the site owner to submit an entry.
@Vincent Bethmann: I am still waiting for an “invite” for the Microsoft Translation Widget. I did find this add-in, although it is not as “pretty”: http://www.microsofttranslator.com/AddIn.aspx.
