We realize you were impressed before when we were just regular old "Internet Evolution," but now that we are award-winning Internet Evolution, you must be simply floored.
That's right. Today Internet Evolution was the proud recipient of three (yes, that's 3!) "Best of the Web" awards from min, including the awards for Digital Team of the Year, Best B2B Video Show, and Best B2B Community/Social Network.
Joining some other minor names in the consumer and business-to-business digital publishing space, like Sports Illustrated, Cond? Nast, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Scholastic Inc., and Time Inc., Internet Evolution's staff came together for an awards breakfast of eggs, coffee, and crusty croissants in New York City honoring nominees and winners for outstanding digital initiatives over the course of the past year.
Along with Cond? Nast, Internet Evolution took home the award for the Digital Team of the Year (i.e., the BIG one) for -- per min's verbiage -- "creativity, resourcefulness, mastery of digital media, and success in the past year executing digital goals."
To catch a glimpse of the tech-savvy and dangerously attractive Digital Team of the Year -- including Stephen Saunders, founder of Internet Evolution; Chris Williams, Web development manager; Warren Hultquist, director, Web operations; Ken Surabian, design director; Kevin Cramer, copy chief; Amy Averbook, director, corporate marketing; Terry Sweeney, editor in chief; Mary Jander, ThinkerNet editor; and myself, Nicole Ferraro, site editor -- check out our far-out photo below. (But please resist the urge to ask us to send you an autographed copy, because that is just so Web 1.0.)
Grabbing further accolades, Internet Evolution also won the Best of the Web Awards for Best B2B Video Show, honoring the Web Wide World video documentaries; as well as -- and of utmost importance -- the award for Best Community/Social Network, honoring you!
Taking a bit of a serious note here, because of you, our readers, and your consistent engagement with each other, the ThinkerNet bloggers, and the staff, Internet Evolution is truly the first successful B2B social network. You have proved that such a community can work and can work really, gob-smackingly well. We thank you completely for making the idea of Internet Evolution a reality by keeping up your end of the conversation and always challenging us and each other with new ideas about the future of the Internet. These awards are yours as much as they are ours.
Congratulations and thanks again to the whole Internet Evolution team, to our sponsor, IBM -- and especially to our readers who have made all of our successes possible.
