Surf with a purpose by voting in Final Round of Open Web Awards
I know you aren’t really working at your desk anyway; you’re checking the news, Facebook and email. You are thinking about the party you just had/will have and looking at someone else’s/your own holiday wish list. Surf with a purpose by voting in the FINAL voting round of the Open Web Awards!
According to Pete Cashmore, there were “more than 50,000 nominations and in excess of 80,000 verified votes”. You can find both familiar and unfamiliar names in the list below which makes this vote so exciting. While none of the companies are associated with Rick Astley or Deborah “Debbie” Gibson, you can still make a dark horse count this year, so VOTE!
You will be able to vote up until 11:59pm PST on Sunday, December 14th – once per day
