12th Webby Awards announced -- well done, BBC!

The 12th Webby Awards have just been announced with an entertaining press release, and on the site. Well done the BBC, which picked up another three awards, same as last year. Alas, the Guardian didn't.

Multiple award winners this year were NYTimes.com (8); The Onion (7); PostSecret (4); National Geographic (4); Apple.com (4); Hometown Baghdad (3); "You Suck at Photoshop" (3), Flickr (3); FactCheck.org (3); BBC (3); TED.com (3); ESPN.com (3); and CondeNet (3).

I am, of course, a PostSecret fan and serial plugger. I was also delighted to see that Here Comes another Bubble, much discussed on this blog (below), got the Viral Video award from the judges, though the People's Choice was Chocolate Rain.

The 12th Annual Webby Awards will be presented in New York on June 10, giving winners plenty of time to hone their pithy 5-word acceptance speeches. Or in our case, not.
