Who is the best blogger, venture capitalist, angel investor and startup CEO in Seattle? You'll have a chance to vote for your favorites in those categories and more in the first annual Seattle 2.0 Awards. Founder Marcelo Calbucci said he wanted to create a new ceremony to celebrate the Seattle startup community, bringing attention to the innovative entrepreneurs, developers, designers and investors who live and work here.
I served as judge during the nomination process, but did not participate in the blog category since TechFlash was nominated for an award. Now, I am pleased to learn that we are one of three finalists along with Xconomy and Startup Whisper. Thanks for the nomination, and for reading TechFlash.
