Exciting Times

I received some great news this week – Social Web Thing has been shortlisted for a Social Media Award by the European Public Relations Education and Research Association (EUPRERA).

The nomination is for Best Practitioner/Researcher blog and SWT is up against some really great blogs in PiaR, Cyber Footprint, Compelling Communications, Richard Millington and That’s PR.

I must say that I’m delighted and somewhat surprised to have been shortlisted for such a prestigious award at the annual gathering of Europe’s top Public Relations academics.

There will also be awards for the Best Student and Group blogs and the nominations can be viewed on the Publicsphere blog.

The winner will be announced at the EUPRERA Spring Symposium which takes place on 25-27 February 2010 in Ghent, Belgium.

I’ve never been to Belgium…so fingers crossed.
