The 2006 Medical Weblog Awards Nominees

I've read the list. Voters, please consider which category you're voting. Some don't deserve to be where they are. It's not because the doctor is your friend. The deserving ones don't get it.

I already made this nomination but was not specific as to the category. Here goes again:

I nominate http://www.healthcareguy.com/ for Best Medical Technologies/Informatics Weblog.

I'm honored to be included but Genetics and Health was started in April 2005.

Would like to nominate Positive Technology Journal in the Best Medical Technologies/Informatics Weblog category

:)

Is the voting really going to be like Dancing for the Stars? That involves multiple sessions of voting, with each session causing the lowest vote-getter to be removed, eventually ending up with two finalists. Can't we just do a staight vote?

O-thanks for all your hard work on this thing.

Wow - thanks for the nomination. I am totally stoked! I am in fine company with the other blogs listed. I am certain to learn about some new blogs just by reading the nominees list!

Thank you, 'Roxanne' for your nomination. I only discovered by accident that I was on one of the lists last night and had to trawl through the comments list to try and find out who might have nominated me. I am flattered, but I have only just started up and there are too many outstanding blogs out there for mine to be any kind of real contender.
Quietly and humbly thanking you, anyway.

Sisiphus

Roxanne also nominated me.

Roxanne, I don't know who you are. But I'd like to say a big thankyou.

I've only ben blogging a short while so I'm chuffed to bits.

Good luck to all the nominees.

of course that should read "been blogging"

It's the excitement, honest!

I see Emergiblog is not on here - so let's be specific: both the Best Medical blog and the Best Literary Medical blog.

I'm nominating this site for the best new medical blogger for the year 2006.

How do you vote for one of the already nominated blogs?-- JM

I would like to nominate Dr GC George on Odysses of George http://med97um.net/george/ for the Best New Medical Weblog and Best Literary Medical Weblog as well as Best Medical Technologies/Informatics Weblog.

Please explain why some nominations made before the 29th are not shown on your list.

I'll nominate my blog, http://dare-to-dream.us for best Clinical Sciences blog.

Reminder -- the Biomedicine on Display blog was nominated last week for three categories (Best Medical Blog, Best Literary Medical Blog, Best Medical Technologies Blog) -- but hasn't appeared on the list of nominees yet.

I am pleased to see that my blog was nominated in the clinical sciences blog but has not been listed in the nominees category yet. Also, would you be kind enough to let me know how my readers can vote for their favorites. There are no directions on the site as to how to do th is.

Thanks,

You missed Trench Doc (http://trenchdoc.wordpress.com/) for best new medblog . . .

The list has been updated. Please let us know if we've missed any blogs.

Thank to all for taking the time to nominate!!!

Wowwww!! I wasn't expecting this.. thanks for the nomination. Made my day, man. Haha. Makes me wanna blog somemore. Hehe.

I am a sociologist, not a medical professional. But I want to say I love JunkFoodScience's fresh perspective on obesity. So much of the incrimination evidence against fatness is based on questionable epidemology (which we sociologists have a right to critique- it is our territory too!) Good luck to all!

Oops, make that incriminating!

Here's the link to the voting page:

What is the methodology for determining who makes the list? I have seen several blogs nominated as asked, but they did not make YOUR list. Way to keep this medical blog award scientific!

We hereby nominate the Abolish the GMC Blog at http://www.abolishthegmc.blogspot.com for the following categories:

*Best New Medical Weblog

*Best Health Policies/Ethics Weblog

*Best Medical Weblog

If you are no longer taking 2006 nominations , then kindly nominate the Abolish the GMC Blog for your 2007 Awards.

Out of all your nominated blogs , the Abolish the GMC Blog has the highest number of profile views on blogger.com - and is also creating a massive wave of change in Medical Regulation worldwide.

Blogger Profile Views are a far better indication of popularity rather than ordinary hit counters, as Blogger Profile cookies only count 'Unique Visitors' rather than just 'Hits' alone.

Nothing on Podiatry, here you are . . .
