Help dotTech win “Best Geek Blog” of 2009 at Blogger’s Choice Awards!

December 7, 2009 82 Email article | Print article

Back in March I asked for assistance in making dotTech number 1 in “Best Geek Blog” of 2009 at Blogger’s Choice Awards. Well 2009 is coming to an end and I would very much still love to win that award for dotTech. So, I once again ask the dotTech family to band together and vote for dotTech as the “Best Geek Blog” of 2009 at Blogger’s Choice Awards (click here to vote)! Currently the leader in the “Best Geek Blog” category has 510 votes; to lock in the first spot inshAllah I believe dotTech needs 1000+ votes because there is bound to be a last-minute surge by other blogs.

Unfortunately, to vote you do have to register with BCA. It is doubly unfortunate that registration involves entering a lot of personal information:

Now personally speaking, I would never enter that much personal information on a website run by an unknown company. Heck, I even bite my tongue when giving that information to my bank. So if you don’t feel comfortable giving that information out and therefore will not register and therefore will not vote for dotTech… don’t sweat it – I understand, it is OK. However, every and all votes are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Done!

    I used a Mailinator e-mail address for my registration.

    You should really post this request as a banner on your site or something. I just happened to have some extra time today, was checking out your home page and saw the article. I wouldn’t have noticed it if I’d just come on to read a review since the sidebar rarely catches my attention.

    It is still possible for you to win, Ashraf. In just one day you succeeded to rise from place 17 to place 7!
    I would ask my cat to vote for you, but she doesn’t have her own e-mail address…

    And, many thanks!
