Boredom Killer: The 2008 Bloggies

For those of you who don’t know, bloggers have their own awards called the Bloggies. Well anyway, the 2008 bloggie winners were just recently announced.

What I find really useful about the bloggies is that they expose me to great blogs that I might have never heard of otherwise.

So if you find yourself refreshing your same old bookmarks for the 5th time today, a quick glance at the winners and nominees will help diversify your day.

And if you can’t be bothered with scrolling through the entire list, here is a list of my favorite 2008 bloggie winners and nominees...

• Postsecret.com – One of the highlights of my week. People anonymously send their secrets via postcard. They range from extremely funny to extremely creepy
• Lifehacker.com – A guide to life for geeks and hipsters alike. Learn how to get rid of spyware and food stains on the same page.
• Can I Has A Cheezburger – Lolcats galore. Need I say more?
• Gizmodo – Keep up with latest technology.
• Engadget – Keep up with the latest technology… again. A lot of the news repeats on both this site and Gizmodo, but that one news post that isn’t on the other makes it totally worth it.
• Kotaku – A great gaming blog. The Gizmodo of video game blogs.
• Overheard in NY – A hilarious blog where people submit things they’ve overhear in New York. I am desperately trying to either submit something I overheard or be overheard myself.
• Cute Overload – Pictures of cute animals. Simple, yet amazingly addictive.
• Digg – A boredom killer in it of itself. It aggregates the best sites of the day voted by people just like you and me.
