No, we lost the People's Voice Webby (the Webby we were all voting for). We won the Webby.

GAMESPOT?!?! Alright, how many people did they bribe to get that one voted through: seriously, that site is awful!

Ahh well, at least we won the Webby, if not the people's voice (ie, the one judged properly, not by an internet poll), and I'm taking that as the true victory.

Bingo. Let's hear it for virtual celebrity. It's exactly as meaningful as it sounds.

Do we get anything for making this happen? Sure it's not the peoples choice webby, but what is a website without the loyal community?

I'd argue that the "Webby" award itself is more significant, as any poll on the internet can be easily rigged by the copious amounts of users who will just vote for the sake of voting/getting badges/their friend asked them to/whatever. Just because a lot of people vote for a site it doesn't mean it's the best.

We didn't win the voting one though, we won the other one for being an awesome website... not even like pizza vouchers? I'm hungry and the kitchen is so far away to make a sandwich.

Why the would we want the people's choice over the actual award?
"oh noes, Gamespot can spam better than us"
