Much as I dislike LiveJournal, I have to say that I think Andy's site is likely to be more successful than mine if people start to get behind it. This is because: - There are simply loads of people for whom LiveJournal appears to be the only form of web interaction they understand (a bit like loads of people only buy Microsoft); and - I don't think anyone is likely to accuse Andy of only running a recommendation list as an underhand way to win himself a Hugo. I knew that someone would step up to the plate if I walked away. Thank you Andy, well done! And if someone else would like to set up a simple web site, perhaps containing links to Technorati searches of the tags (so that it can also collect recs tagged that way from other blogs...), that would be kind of cool too.
