2007 Medical Weblog Awards Sponsored by ScrubsGallery.com: The Polls Are Open!

January 14th, 2008 Medgadget Editors Exclusive, Net News

After a careful analysis and consideration, we are excited to present to everyone the group of finalists of the 2007 Medical Weblog Awards. But first, a couple of notes.
We would like to thanks everyone for nominating so many great medical blogs for consideration. Literally dozens of candidates in each and every category were named. As we personally know, each blog is someone’s labor of love, and it is not an easy work to maintain. So as editors of Medgadget we took the job of selecting the finalists very seriously. We would like to thank Allen from GruntDoc (winner of best medical blog back in 2003–and he is getting better all the time!), Joshua from Kidney Notes and Enrico from Mexico Medical Student for their input. Everyone involved in the selection process did a most excellent job!
The other note concerns our very own Bertalan Meskó, whose website ScienceRoll was nominated for Best Tech Blog before he joined Medgadget’s editorial team. Since some of our panel members strongly felt that ScienceRoll is one of the best medtech sites out there (we wouldn’t hire him otherwise, would we?), the decision was made to allow his blog to be the finalist.

If his site sucks big time, the votes will show it. Remember: each vote counts!
The folks at ScrubsGallery.com are providing winners with some seriously exciting prizes this year. The winner of the 2007 Best Medical Weblog award gets the new Amazon Kindle from Amazon.com.
Winners in other categories will be awarded with the latest edition of The Cambridge Illustrated History of Medicine (Cambridge University Press; New Ed edition).

And, finally… PLEASE MEET THE FINALISTS, and the voting booths!
