Surely there’s some way I can pretend to be self-deprecating about this

In what is easily the shocking development of the month, I learn via the comments to my last post that I’ve been nominated for something! How cool is that?

Specifically: The Blogger’s Choice award for best marketing blog! The Blogger’s Choice site had some kind of badge I could download to post here and “brag” about the nomination. It was ugly, so I took the screenshot above instead. But clearly I’m still bragging.

So far I have one vote, from the supernice person who nominated me. (Thanks again!)

Now, you might fairly ask: Is this really a marketing blog? I don’t know. Technically speaking, I’ve made it a point to call Murketing.com a “Web site” and not a “blog” (for reasons I’ll leave aside for now, but maybe explain later if anyone cares; just don’t make assumptions). And I think my subject matter is consumer culture, which marketing is only one part of. Finally, I have a feeling most “marketing blogs” give their readers, I don’t know, useful advice, and that sort of thing.

BUT … I’m so psyched to get nominated for anything at all that I strongly encourage you to vote for me anyway. I might even do so myself.
