Best Twitterer: Alyssa Milano

Keith Plocek
Alyssa Milano is not a celebrity Twitterer. Yes, she’s a celebrity and she’s on Twitter, and from time to time she does tweet about her upcoming projects and her charity work, but most of what you get is news: tech news, Dodger news, science news, hard news. She retweets. She......

Best Sports Blog: Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness

Keith Plocek
So many sports blogs trade in cold stats and play-by-play analysis, forgetting somewhere along the way that it’s a freaking blog! Not so with Mike Scioscia’s Tragic Illness, which takes its name from an early Simpsons episode. Insightful analysis doesn’t have to be boring. A little spit never hurt anyone......

Best Business Twitterer: The Roxy

Keith Plocek
We started following @TheRoxy during a tweet crawl on the Sunset Strip. It was one of these deals where we had to follow each club in order to be eligible for prizes, and frankly we planned on unfollowing each of them later, because who wants a constant stream of promotional......

Best Band Site: Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All

Keith Plocek
These guys were in the running for Best Tumblog, and we were even wondering about Best Twitterer (no offense, Alyssa), but OddFuture.com is really just one helluva band site. Almost every page has a different look that’s decidedly OFWGKTA. Video, downloads, rants, photos, swag – it’s all there. These kids......

Best Neighborhood Blog: The Eastsider LA

Keith Plocek
“The Eastsider LA” were the first words out of pretty much everyone’s mouth when we mentioned this category. Jesus Sanchez covers the northeast corner of Los Angeles like only someone born in Boyle Heights could. His take on news and events in Echo Park and beyond give one of the......

Best Tumblog: The Streets Are Calling

Keith Plocek
You could call Tumblr the hot dog of social media: Sometimes it seems like it’s made entirely of lips and assholes, and nobody locally is doing a better job posting pics of both than The Streets Are Calling. Photographers Rat Handsome and Organ Donor (probably not their real names) lurk......
