Nominate your online favourites

Posted 30 October 2007 at 8:42AM by Simon Dickson in Doing business online

BT needs your help in identifying the UK's best consumer websites. You have until 7 November to nominate the sites you like best in 17 different categories: these will be whittled down, with the assistance of an expert panel, to a shortlist of five in each - then it'll be over to you again, to pick the winner.

BT's Matt Walton says the BT Online Excellence Awards are intended to bring something new to the awards calendar. 'Up until now websites have often been judged simply on technical criteria, like functionality and accessibility, rather than on what customers actually think and like,' he says. Instead, these awards will 'give the people who actually use the sites the opportunity to vote for the ones that really make a difference to their lives.'

It's easy to guess who will be in the running for a few of the categories: there aren't very many candidates for 'best search website', for example. (Actually, is there more than one?) But it's anyone's guess who will win some of the more down-to-earth categories which don't often crop up in awards ceremonies: cookery? gardening? environmental? wedding?

And if you aren't sufficiently motivated to nominate your favourite sites, purely to say thank-you for a year of excellent service, you might be persuaded by the possibility of winning a champagne balloon flight for two.

Come on you lot at BT - Not everything is BIG and BEAUTIFUL.

Small Companies with websites do not have a look in with BT - especially with your website promoting the big boys. The majority of small companies in the UK only have 2 or 3 employees. How about promoting them for a change.

BT systems and The BT Company and BT Employees talk about Companies of 200 employees being small - You must be joking. Medium Companies employ 80 to 200 employees and have far different needs than the real small company.

Small companies employ less than 10 people. Come on BT wake up and meet the challanges of the REAL SMALL UK COMPANIES.
