		<description>Well I wish everyone the best of luck! I&#039;m sure some great companies will get the best award around! Our company is to small at current for us to get near a chance of getting an award, but never the less I popped a badge up on MSE360.com</description>

		<description>You are spamming every TC article, how you haven&#039;t been banned from commenting yet is beyond me.

Pay the $$$ to enter though, i&#039;m sure it will be a sound investment for you...</description>

		<description>What he&#039;s saying is that the most popular sites win, instead of most interesting, unique, meaningful, original, ground-breaking, revolutionary, intricate, etc. But then again, there&#039;s nothing wrong with a popularity contest. If you get the traffic and make it to the top of the heap, you deserve your fifteen seconds on stage at the Crunchies.</description>

		<description>As are all awards, they&#039;re subjective.

But look at last years winners, they all had merit and if TC did give all the prizes to their mates/investments it would be obvious and all credibility would be lost.

Its in TCs interests to award the top sites, to make their awards meaningful and attract the biggest sponsors.

Being crooked isn&#039;t always in peoples interests, this is one such case.</description>
