Webby Award Winners Announced

As the organizers of the Webby Awards announce on their site, “Webby Honorees, Nominees and Winners truly represent the best of the Web. They are but a small percentage of total entries and have been chosen by members of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences based on a number of creative and functional criteria.” And now we know who the chosen ones are, after the winners of the 12^th annual Webby Awards were announced.

Many of the names picked by the Academy are familiar, such as Flickr, which won a pair of awards for Best Practices and also for Community. The New York Times site was named best for news and also newspaper, the site for the Simpsons movie won for Best Movie, while the Onion took home the humor award. The largely unknown Ted.com carried home three awards, while the BBC also did well, including Best Radio site for the World Service.

That means many of us are past the days of tossing a few bills onto the table to pay our share of a restaurant tab or slipping our pal a couple of bucks to help them out. Now, even those things are more easily doable from our smartphones than our physical wallets.

Online team collaboration is the new norm as companies spread their workforce across the globe. Gone are the days of primarily relying on group emails, as teams can now work together in real time using an instant chat-style interface, no matter where they are.

It's one of many collaboration tools designed to bring company workers together in an online space. It’s not designed for communicating with family and friends, but for colleagues and clients.
