Social Web Thing makes the CRAPPs shortlist

I received more great news this week – Social Web Thing has been shortlisted for ‘the best blogger PR award’ at the Communicative Relations Awards from PR Professionals – the light hearted awards affectionately known as the CRAPPs.

Once again, SWT is up against some tough industry competition in the form of Wadds PR Blog and Comms Corner. Both are favourites of mine and it is great to be compared to such great blogs. In addition, it is fantastic to be considered in the same vein as Tom Fordyce, Sally Whittle and Martin J Robbins et al, who are all experts in their respected fields with large followings.

There are also a host of other awards up for grabs including ‘The journalist that makes you feel warm and furry on the inside’ and Least twattish Twitterer – the must follow journo’.

Whilst, the CRAPPs aim to celebrate the ‘special relationship’ between PRs and the UK media, I must add that I’m delighted to have been shortlisted for the inaugural award.

The winner will be announced on 15 December 2010 and readers can vote for ‘the best blogger PR award’ here.

It’s always fantastic to gain recognition for something which started as a hobby, but developed into a passion. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed…
