The final voting stage for the Irish Blog Awards kicks off this coming Monday as voting closed tonight with around 1,100 votes cast. Of course, the usual Irish trend of stuffing the ballot box stuck its ugly head above water and the number of legit votes is likely to drop according the Damien Mulley who will also announce the winner of the O2 goodies (i-mode phone) on the same day.

On another point of interest… whats with all the hype over i-mode? In fairness, its been around for years, YEARS, already and there isn’t anything spectacular that you can do with it anyway. Still, fair play to O2 for sponsoring the prizes and good luck to everyone chosen for Monday. Its been fun to be listed for a while 🙂
