On Sunday night (the 24th) the nomination period ends for the About.com Reader's Choice Awards. Then I'll sift through the nominations, make a list, and put up the polls for voting on your nominations. But it's about more than just picking a winner. A nomination helps others discover tools and resources they might have otherwise missed. And for some small publishers or Web sites, it can be a much-needed vote of confidence just to get mentioned alongside "the big guys." So, please, take a few minutes to nominate your choice for best software, online service, app, or resource. At the bottom of this newsletter you'll find direct links to all 12 of my nomination forms.

And use the nomination form or the comments field of the blog post to tell us about your experiences with either one or both of these template resources.

Top Picks - 2010 About.com Reader's Choice Awards from your About.com Computing Guide | ![]() | | Yes, I have my own twelve categories but there are dozens more. Below are a few from fellow About.com Guides. Nominate your choices and stick around to explore these great sites. | | 1) What is Google's Best Product Besides Search?
I've mentioned before that I use Google Docs a lot but lately I've been doing the Wave. Haven't quite figured it out and because it's still in preview mode there are some kinks, but I think I like it. I also like igoogle.com, Google Maps, and several others. How about you? What does Google do best, other than search? And speaking of search... is Google the best or not? 2) What is the Best Web Designer's Web Page?
Are you a Web designer? Does your own Web site reflect how good you really are? Nominate yourself. And whether it's your site or not, if you know of a Web site that's the best of the best in one of these categories, make your nomination: Product Page Design | Information or Content Page Design | Form Page Design. 3) What's the Best Mac Office Suite?
Are iWork, Microsoft Office, and OpenOffice the best choices on the Mac? Mac users aren't limited to just software designed for the Mac. Some can run Windows software too. What do you use for running Windows on a Mac? |
