Xiaxue swept two awards (Region's Best Blog and Most Influential Blog) at the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2011 held last week.
Australian blogger Melissa444 has issues and posted them on her blog (The Things I'd Tell You).
Nuffnang, is this really the kind of blog you want to promote as the best Nuffnang blog? The best blog the Asia Pacific has to offer? Fair enough if you want some of the votes to be reader based, popularity votes. But calling that blog the 'best' blog in the Asia Pacific is mortifying to other blogs. To think that a person like this should be awarded for her blog is akin to giving Paris Hilton an Oscar for her acting skills. It's absurd. And demoralising to think that this is the kind of thing you're drawn to.....So clearly Nuffnang and other promoters, and tens of thousands of readers have no issue with following and supporting the blog of someone who uses consistently foul and racist language on her blog. After all - she's the 'best'.Read more of what Melissa444 blogged (Oh Come ON!!!!)
Xiaxue responded to Melissa's comments in her blog. Read So many angry Australians
Melissa wrote another post to clear some air.
My issue was with "Best Regional Blog". It intimated to me that Nuffnang were saying that this meant that Xiaxue's blog was literally 'the best blog in the Asia-Pacific Region'. That surprised me, as there is very little strong content, and in her own words, is not meant to be taken seriously. When I hear "best" (for example "Best Actor", "Best Movie", "Best Actress", I assume that that means it has been judged to be best. By an unbiased panel of judges. As such, I was surprised (and disappointed that a blog like like this could be chosen) with the result.Read more (So..that went well)
But it's ok. Nuffnang has already cleared that up.....
