Most Egregious Omission
Thanks to everyone who participated, those who have sent well wishes, and especially Michele, Cheyenne, and the King for their assistance.
Ecosystem categories are based on The Truth Laid Bear Blogoshpere Ecosystem that ranks blogs based on the number of other blogs linking to them. The rating levels use a evolutionary metaphor. I think most people liked the idea of competing against sites from the same TTLB Ecosystem level, but I think for next year we are going to need some better "awards show" names for those categories. I'm open to suggestions...
