Tuesday, August 8, 2006

black_webbies.jpg
I’ve been told Concrete Loop is like a Tabloid on Crack, people just can’t get enough. If you agree with that comparison, how about you show us some love with a nomination.

The Black Weblog Awards started last week, and since we can’t vote for ourselves, yall have to hook us up.

Here are the categories that we are eligible for:

- Best Blog Design
- Best Humor Blog
- Best New Blog
- Best Pop Culture Blog
- Blog of the Year
- Blog to Watch

Yes, you can nominate us in all those categories, just make sure you use a valid e-mail address while doing it. Nominations end on August 15th, and the actual voting starts the day after.

A Big thank you to all who take the time out to do this! Much Love.

ANYWAY…I just joined this site the other day although I have been reading for the past few weeks since I’ve been put on bedrest for the rest of my pregnancy, and I really hope you guys get nominated for some categories because I feel that this site really deserves it. I have easily become an addict. I can can come here not only to laugh which i do DAILY, but to engage in intelligent conversation regarding things in our black community. I really enjoy the polls and how frequently you update, and I hope that you get the credit that you definitely deserve. I have recommended this site to TONS of people so keep up the good work you guys!

GOOD LUCK!

P.S. I nominated you for most of the categories which I knew you fit in, but I couldn’t figure out what “Best LGBT” meant…anyone know?

Hey I just finished voting. And of course I showed CONCRETELOOP.com mad love. So Angel.La thanks for taking the blog world by storm with your amazing site. Now if you could just fine tune the server issues’ aint no reason why you could keep the blog game in a choke hold.

Okay so I went to their site, and in the navigation section click where it says ‘BWA Blog.’ There is a notice titled ‘Reading is Fundamental’ and in it it states among other things….’Nominating one site in each of the twenty-one categories’ is not allowed… i’m confused?

I’ve been hooked on CL for a while now and I still think it’s an addictive site. I support all of the categories except for Blog to Watch. Lately, ya’ll have been successful with these Beyonce’ posts when it’s plenty of room for the more intellectual posts. I understand that this is an entertainment blog but it doesn’t hurt to give some people, who like debating, a topic with a little more substance.

#5 LGBT means Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgendered.

I will definately vote for you. I love the fact that you gave us black folks a home that’s update frequently and where we can discuss stuff about us and our people freely.

Thanks.

@ 32 - True dat! Preach! But obviously more people are into buffoonery that intellectulism. Just look at how many hits the Beyonce blog has gotten in the last hour alone compared to everything else. Some people can’t move beyond a certain type of mentality.

To: Angel La Don’t mean to knock you off your hustle but, why you have two articles in one page?
That shits kinda confusing. When someone posts a comment you don’t know which one it goes for. Then niggas start gettin off topic.

38.

Angel.La

Tuesday, August 8, 2006 /

Dino, are you talking about the roundup?

And @ 28. You are right, you can only vote one blog in one category, but it can be the same blog. On the rules page it says:

If you feel a website can qualify for more than one category, feel free to submit it for several categories.

CommonSense said: “Some people can’t move beyond a certain type of mentality.”

My sentiments exactly. I couldn’t agree more. It’s a lot of other interesting news out there besides Beyonce. For instance, the lawsuit that’s going on between the founder of Dontdatehimgirl.com and the lawyer that’s suing her. And I haven’t seen anything about the Duke rape case. If a post was put up, please forgive me. But I think that should get as much exposure as the Beyonce posts. But I guess topics like that will just bore the simple-minded.

Angel.La

Yall have to remember this is an entertainment blog, which means we predominately talk about gossip, music, etc. We don’t try to get too serious on here. If you want an intellectual discussion about various news stories, you are on the wrong site. Point Blank.

I do from time to time, try to mix it up a bit. But like I said, this is an entertainment blog. People are always trying to make it something it’s not.

BTW, I have posted about the Duke case, do a search.

Angel.La: You’re the founder/creator so in no form am I going to undermine your comment. But as young black people our minds should be not be limited to just Hip-Hop and entertainment. I don’t know any other black blogs that are intellectually based. The reason I like CL is because it had different topics such as the Bill Cosby posts, etc. That gave you the debating and socially aware comments that are out there. I think we as blacks need that. Entertainment is entertainment. But it can also be EDUTAINTMENT. If you know of any black blogs that are on the level that I speak of, please let me know. I will always be a CL lover. I can always have the best of both worlds.
