In 15th Year, Webbys Go Mobile
As a reflection of the change brought to the digital world by the mobile Web and all that it encompasses, the folks behind the Webby Awards announced today that they are expanding the award categories to include apps for handheld and tablet devices. The new awards will be judged by mobile veterans including Twitter co-founder Biz Stone and Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley. No word yet on whether the customary limit on acceptance speeches will be changed from five words to 140 characters.
