Post Of The Month - October '10 - Nominations

Some properly provocative posts this month, which is good to see. I'm opening up nominations promptly as I will be leaving soon for Africa with The Great (Ad & Media) Football Giveaway, so need to get a move on with the nominations and voting. So nominations for October are open - please do nominate your favourite posts that were posted in that month in the comments below. As a starter, I've listed four nominations of my own - please add yours and I'll stick them all up for a vote. My starting four are:

My iPad Magazine Stand by Kohl Vinh

A Letter To Myself from Heidi Hackemer

The Future Is Behind Us by The Ad Contrarian

Social Media Is Dead by Adriana Lukas

And you can nominate your own favourite below...

Full transparency: I'm self-nominating because I genuinely want to hear more people's thoughts on it.

Keep it going, Neil.

I'd like to nominate Edward Boches post, "Transformation: easy to talk about, harder to do." http://edwardboches.com/transformation-easy-to-talk-about-harder-to-do

[Chris Butler]

Self-nominating for feedback, too:

"Storytelling is the Future of the Web" http://www.newfangled.com/telling_a_story_with_digital_marketing

Interesting reads *not* by me:

"The Unplugged Experiment" http://www.pr2020.com/page/the-unplugged-experiment

"Kevin Kelly and Steven Johnson on Where Ideas Come From" http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/09/mf_kellyjohnson/all/1

"Identity and the Independent Web" http://battellemedia.com/archives/2010/10/identity_and_the_independent_web_.php

Pedant time: Adriana's post is from March. Does that mean that blog posts from any month can be nominated, as long as they were read/discovered in October?

[Chris Butler]

By the way, thanks for linking to "A Letter To Myself" from Heidi Hackemer. It's a really good one.

[Dan Weingrod]

Seconding Ian Schafer. Great, discussionworthy post.

I'm going to vote for the ad contrarian post. Honestly felt Adriana Lukas' post was a little confused in it's argument.

I would like to nominate Edward Boches for his write up on Zettabytes are coming! http://edwardboches.com/2010/10 Its simple and bang-on ... story-telling will indeed separate the famous from the invisible ... brilliant!!

Right. Thanks for the nominations all.

@Ian and @chris I don't normally allow self-nominations but as Dan has seconded Ian's nomination it's in.

@chris I also usually allow one nomination per person - though in truth I have been known to make exceptions - as there's a long list this month, I'm taking John Battelle's post. Thanks.

@Paul your right. Forgive me. I came across that post recently and missed that so as this is only a vote for posts from the month of October I shall not be including it. Sorry folks.

[Chris Butler]

No worries--I'm glad to have found your post. It's a good idea and there's a lot of good stuff here!

[Paul Roetzer]

Cool concept, Neil. This is my first time visiting your blog, and I'm already finding some great content.

Also, thanks to Chris Butler of Newfangled for nominating my Unplugged Experiment post.
