Jeremy Popper, of POP PR, just sent us an email informing us of the 2005 Business Blogging Awards:

I'm up for a blogging award at BusinessBloggingAwards for the Best PR blog. While the prize is unknown, it's not a bad thing to be able to put on my blog, and use as a footnote for an article I am writing on blogging for an Arizona business magazine.

So, if you could take a moment to vote, that would be greatly appreciated!

But, more importantly, check out my blog -- http://pop-pr.blogspot.com -- for an interesting piece on blogs and libel.

Unfortunately, I can't vote in the best PR blog category, as I'm personally acquainted with both Jeremy Popper and Mike Manuel (of POP Public Relations and Media Guerilla, respectively, and don't want to show favoritism. Besides, I really don't know a thing about PR or marketing as I'm neither a PR bunny nor marketing maven myself).

Nevertheless, it's interesting checking out the categories and nominees. My favorite categories are The Peacock Award (Most Self-Important), and The Chris Pirillo Award (for Shameless Self-Promotion).

So, think this will evolve into a spectacular like the Webbies were in their day?
