What do Jimmy Fallon, the New York Times, Twitter and Neil Pasricha (WHO?!) have in common? They will all be recipients of the coveted Webby Award in June.
We must tip our cap to Neil Pasricha, owner of 1000AwesomeThings.com. The everyman blogger has taken his Website, which is counting down one thousand “awesome” things, to the big show.

1000 Awesome Things is well-written, yet pithy and concise. It uses the simplest blog template imaginable.
