Well, as we know, Twitter is all the rage in the social media world. Now, there's even more buzz about it. On February 11, the Shorty Awards took place. For the awards, Twitter-ers could vote on the best "tweets" in 26 categories, including: advertising, business, entertainment, finance, humor, music, news, politics and travel (to name a few) The awards ceremony took place at the Galapagos Art Space in New York City. Shaq and MC Hammer were some of the featured celebrity appearances. The award winners gave 140-character acceptance speeches and were given $1,000 grants to travel in NYC. The award winners were voted on by Twitter members. This has a big impact in the social media world because it is recognizing the impact Twitter has made in 26 categories. It will be interesting to see where the site goes and how the awards bring publicity.

It is very interesting to watch as Twitter continues to grow, and its presence and effectiveness becomes more appreciated. The fact that awards have been created to recognize tweets that are most effective in 26 different categories shows that a lot of people are paying attention to Twitter and its progression.
If you have yet to begin tweeting on your own, you are already behind the wave and need to catch up.
