Congratulations, and well-deserved it is too :)

Congratulations ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Steve:

Congrats to the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳.....

Steve,
Congratulations ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ for winning the Website Awards category for News. ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News online and the links give me the full world perspective that I need.
It would be really surprising if any other organisation had have won.
The Editors' News Blogs keep me in touch with the UK whilst living in Brazil, and the regular contributors have the serendipity of variety - from the World's Expert to the Paranoid Incoherent.
I am writing writing a small tome on The Legacy Of Gordon Brown (one of many, I'm sure) but from the point of view of the internet community - sycophancy and invective. It would really help if you could release the comments to me from your closed blog. 95% of these were moderated and removed; only one or two that praised Gordon Brown were allowed. I need to review the range and balance. All permissions will be sought prior to submission for publication.

Very pleased to see this - congratulations.
Alas I largely only browse the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News site at home, bored as I am with inappropriate adverts from my place of work due to the farcical geo-IP profiling software so when in the office I now use other news sources.

I used to browse on my phone at work and elsewhere using the wonderful and perfect NOLPDA (news.bbc.co.uk/nolpda/ukfs_news/hi/default.stm ) link. Alas, that seems to have been replaced by the less than useful mobile version [Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator] which caters for the weakest of mobile devices.
I'm not sure how the removal of this mobile site and it's replacement squares with the peoples award. Perhaps, like me, others viewed the NOLPDA version of the news site as the better of the two mobile versions and voted for that. To late to recall my vote now, though.
Now searching runners up for news sites to find one that better fits my 800x600 Opera Mobile browsing experience (have your web techs heard of smart phones?).

I'm with Tom J. I loved the bare-bones "PDA" interface. I don't need the prettification of the mobile interface, which doesn't work as well, takes up more screen real-estate and provides fewer links.

Oh: when I wrote "I'm with Tom J", I should have made clear that also included the congratulations on the award. Sorry for that omission.

If I were the judge you'd get the censorship award.

Well done Steve, the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ certainly deserves the award!

Sizwe

Guess what you wont be winning next time

Certainly won't be getting my vote next year!

What a shame that you've completely dissipated all the goodwill and support that the old News website deserved by creating its clunking, ill-designed, technically-flawed replacement, apparently under pressure from the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s commercial wing to dumb down the news coverage and allow as much space as possible for advertising.

Odds-on that this was the last time the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ will ever win a Webby award; it's such a pity that a flagship site should be ruined in the name of "progress".

I hope that the site did not order a bigger trophy cabinet with the expectation of the 2011 Webby. The award winning website that was ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News is no more, it has ceased to be.
