It’s always fun to have your own tastes and opinions validated by the premiere authoritative voice in that field, and so I was super excited to see that Getty Images’ own interact10ways microsite was nominated for a Webby Award this year, in the Art category no less, which, come on, is the coolest category to be in.

If you haven’t heard of the Webbys that may not sound like much (and you can breathe a sigh of relief at having safely bypassed the geek radar), but it’s true when the NY Times says it’s “the Oscars of the Internet”, still true but not original when Time Magazine says it’s “the Online Oscars” (ok, not totally fair, I don’t know who said it first), and oh so brash and daring when Vanity Fair says it’s “better than the Oscars”.  Interact10ways didn’t win, but it is nevertheless a big honor to have been nominated.
