Thank you
It was a really great surprise to find out today that AOA had placed in not one, but two, categories of the TU's Best of 2009 poll.
We were #2 on the list of best web sites (behind the TU) and #3 on the list of best bloggers (behind Steve and Kristi -- company in which we're delighted to be).
Thank you to everyone who voted for us. We really appreciate it.
And if this is your first time at AOA -- welcome!
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

This is truly wonderful news.
Just note in the days to come as I parse the TU Poll, all of my trashing will be limited to the results in the food category.
Although it's a little unfair to include the paper's own blogs in the best blog category. The fact that an outside party cracked the top three is huge.
Hope you are out celebrating at Salsa Latina.

You shoulda been first in the web site category; TU.com is soooooo awful.

Congrats to everyone at AOA! It speaks volumes of what you guys have been able to accomplish with this site in just a year and some change.
TU's blogs are a different story since they're more of a hosting space for the bloggers from around the community, but I think in the interest of fairness the TU should've excluded themselves from the "best website" poll. Because I mean, really, what do you gain by winning your own poll? "We're the best website in the Capital Region...according to us."
