I attended the Dutch Bloggies 2008 last night as a jury member. I wrote a jury report for and presented the “best design” (Buro Rust) and “best accessible” (Dakzoekje) categories. I never Twittered as much and the backchannel was a great success because the whole Dutch Twitterazzi scene seemed present.

Here’s a selection of my photos from the Dutch Bloggies 2008:

Tonight the Dutch Bloggies Awards 2008 will take place in the Hague.

I am a jury member of this edition of the Dutch blog awards and saw hundreds of known and unknown Dutch blogs. I stumbled upon a few unknown beauties (which I will share with you later due to impartiality issues) and was pleased to see some beautifully designed blogs in between the default templates.

The jury process was long and hard but also exciting and full of surprises. More pictures of the final jury discussion can be found on Flickr. In association with the Dutch public broadcasting company NOS the awards will be streamed live and here on this blog. The fun starts around 19.30 hours.

Update: removed livestream.
