The BFN has been Nominated!!! [update]

First thing I do every morning - check e-mail. One may think something else, but as you all know - I have issues that a 12 step program may even be needed in terms of my 'overworking' ethic.... Yeah, I'm Fried.

Well, the company that provides the back end programming for the BFN toolbar just e-mailed and told me that the BFN News gadget has been Nominated for an award. This company is Conduit.com.

I've never been nominated for an award of such caliber...

so... Here's the deal, I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

Recommend this post, ask as many people to vote for the BFN News gadget - and do it yourself.
Your allowed to vote once per day, I ask that you mark it on your calendar to do so.

Click the picture to go to the page and vote, or go here:

Don't know what the gadget looks like? check it out here:

Now - GO VOTE!!! (and Thank YOU for doing so)

[update: so far the BFN News gadget is in second for its category...and there's 20 days of voting...and we'll need to vote once per day for 20 days. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the votes, please continue voting, and spread the word. Thank you ever so much.

I'll post again tomorrow with stats as to where we're at in this voting push. The other gadget owners are doing similar campaigns to win. Thanks again for your help]

Remember this?

Here's the scoop, and thanks for your comments....

The show will go LIVE on a regular basis next year. In the mean time, I need YOUR help.
Do you have a video that you'd like for me to share on the show? Or a blog post that you Really like?
