bajillionhits:

Today, the almighty social media blog/Internet event coordinators Mashable opened up nominations for its 4th Annual Mashable Awards (you should obviously take a break from reading this and go nominate me for everything), which honors killer achievements in superior strat.

The award categories include everything from “Best Use of an API” to “Must-Follow Brand”, but I really feel like they could really blow this thing out and make it even bigger. So here is a list of 20 additional Social Media Awards categories that I just made up.

1. Most Re-Tweeted Twitterblast

2. Most Impossible To Close Takeover/Pop-Up Ad

3. Best App For Finding New Apps

4. Most Hilariously Nonsensical Use of the Term ‘Curate’

5. Longest Linkbait Countdown List

6. Biggest Sponsorship of a Ridiculous ‘Lounge’, ‘Live Event’ or ‘Awards Gala’

7. Most Brazen Business Expense Write-Off

8. Most Overly Dramatic Name For A Tech Conference

9. Lifetime Achievement in Content Packaging

10. Best Kiss

I’d also be interested in meeting with the number 6 nominees.
