Flying Chairs is hosting the first Asia Weblog Awards. Categories include best weblogs from a number of Asian countries and also by subject. You can nominate weblogs as well as vote for existing nominations. Phil has put in a lot of effort and is doing a great job organizing this. So, thanks, Phil.
One of the categories is the Best Pakistan Blog. Someone has nominated my weblog in that category. Thank you, stranger. I am not sure I qualify. Yes, I am a Pakistani and lived for more than 20 years in Pakistan. However, I am now living in the US for the last 6 years. I do write about Pakistan from time to time but that is not the main focus of my blog. So I am not sure whether I should ask people to go vote for me or should ask Phil to remove my blog from the list. According to Phil,
Those of you who have Weblogs either in or about Asia (it is the subject matter that counts, not your precise location so people should use their best judgement) please tell everyone to vote/nominate or at least vote for you.
I guess I’ll leave it up to you guys. If you think I don’t qualify, please leave a comment here. If I do, go to Phil’s site and vote for me.
I think you count and yes, I did vote for you. Even though I didn’t any promised goodies.
The error message on multiple voting that Flying Chair generates is very interesting:
Your vote did not record because of the following reason(s):
How many votes from the same computer in the same category were you planning on?
🙂 This is quite creative indeed. MS should learn from this, surely. And I did vote for you Zack bro and on my second attempt got this. LOL. I just wanted to see what shall the system do on multiple votes.
Conrad: Thanks. Let’s make increase number of drinks I owe you by some arbitrary number you pick for your vote.
Ejaz: Thanks. I had a suspicion it was you because you are the only one who writes my name as “Zakaria” instead of “Zack.” And it wasn’t wrong, man.
