The topic titled: Mashable's open web awards, or...

[Matt]

... "On how you guys are my goddamned heroes"

so those of you that have been busy nominating away will remember that last month I asked you to nominate us in two categories for the owas. Well, as of the preliminary standings published today, LoadingReadyRun is currently listed in the top ten for "funniest YouTube channel", with smosh, Internet killed television, and several others.

This is huge, but only the top five get nominated, so please keep up the great work!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, please visit http://mashable.com/owa , sign in with your facebook or Twitter account and nominate http://YouTube.com/LoadingReadyRun under the "funniest YouTube channel" category. There's still eight days left before nominations end and everyone can nominate once per day, so let's make sure we get on the ballot!

Thanks everybody!

edit: What the shit, apparently "The Secret of the Sauce" is also listed under youtube video of the year.

Here's the link, please nominate it as well!

[TheRocket]

You guys got my vote.

[Mister Fiend]

Done and done, now ONWARDS TOWARD VICTORY!

[icbat]

You have my vote, of course

[ThrashJazzAssassin]

For some reason, the OWA logout screen no longer works. Or no longer works for me, anyway. So I can't vote with both Facebook and Twitter any more, sorry.

[Machalllewis]

How do you see the rankings? I've voted too just by the by.

[spartanhelmet]

Votification has occured. Now, good luck in reigning in the awards!

[infinite_guest]

Done and done!

[InsaneFool]

Done! (x2)

[ecocd]

I, too, am curious as to where the preliminary results were posted. I couldn't really find it anywhere. Congrats on where you are so far! The site is letting me vote again so I'll keep voting.

[goat]

wait wait wait, once per day?

shit, i've been slacking.

[Lorithad]

I've been voting whenever I remember to. I have been trying though. I've only missed a few days since matt forced me to make a twitter account.

Damn you and your logic!

[Yaxley]

Voted. And only roughly 2 hours after Graham himself nominated LRR. I feel almost timely about it.

[masamune]

i've been voting whenever i can, but that site is buggy as shit and doesn't seem to register half of them.

[Matt]

I've had no problems since the first day.

damn. i'm getting all sorts of weirdness. i can only do my best with what i've got, though. perhaps i should open a twitter account and try that instead of facekook.
also, what the fuck is "smosh"? boo.

[Matt]

all you need to know about smosh is that they have 1.1 million subscribers, and their first video is the epitome of youtube shittiness. (though they've gotten better)

[King Kool]

Now that makes me curious.

[Kipher]

I've been trying to vote everyday, unfortunately soooomtimes i forget And wow I never knew Secret of the Sauce was even in the running as best youtube vid *votes*

[Arius]

I think the one of the woman dying in Iran is going to be the one to win best YouTube video.

Not exactly sure how that video is allowed on YouTube, though it would be PR suicide for YouTube to remove it.

[Matt]

knowing that everything is user voted, I'm actually betting do you wanna date my avatar takes it. sad as that is.

So long as we get on the ballot, its publicity.
