It’s award season and entries are open until a week on Friday, that’s 11th February for the Webby Awards. The Webbys have been honouring the best of the internet since 1996 and celebrates all things digital including websites, video, social media, apps and games, podcasts and more. Winners will be announced in May and there’s a public vote for the prestigious ‘People’s Voice’ award. For now, it’s all about entering, so if you’ve done something online you think deserves recognition you can find out more at webbyawards.com I think Facebook’s parent company is making a huge mistake throwing so much money into the MetaVerse, the so called virtual world it thinks we’re going to inhabit.
