We’re having a huge amount of fun chez Freberg with the 2007 Weblog Awards so far. Our motto, borrowed from the fair city of Chicago, is “vote early and often!” What’s really fun is that I’m hearing from a bunch of people I don’t get to talk to frequently, and catching up with their news.

If you haven’t done so already, check out the other finalists in the “Individual Blogger” category. It’s truly an honor to be in this company:

Karen, our resident PR expert, keeps us up to date on research on how blogging is changing our society. She cites the Edelman Trust Survey as indicating that people are much more likely to listen to someone like themselves as opposed to some formal distributor of information.

If you want to vote today (you can vote every 24 hours), here is the link:
