Thanks!
The past week has been unbelievably good to AOA. First the birthday party, which was a great time -- and now this: a top-three ranking in multiple categories of the Metroland readers' poll.
AOA was voted best local web site (community) and best local web site (arts).
We were also voted second for best local web site (news) and best local blog (congrats, Matt!). And AOA finished at #3 for best local web site (music).
We're especially proud of the best local web site (community) honor. The most fulfilling part of working on AOA has been the chance to meet so many interesting/smart/insightful/kind/funny people. Your support and encouragement keeps us going on the tough days -- and on the good days, it pushes us to do more.
Thank you so much.
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.

"AOA has made itself damn near indispensable to its community"
AWESOME.

1) Yay!
2) You're pretty much the only entry in the media category, other than the Times-Union, that I would have any opinion on.
3) They still publish Metroland?

Congratulations Greg and Mary - and to everybody who writes and takes photos and contributes to AOA and makes this website what everybody in the Capital District bookmarks on their Firefoxes!

But, seriously, Friday Puppy? I just don't get it...

Jay: *puppies*. Even a Friday Babies, a Friday Rainbow, or a Friday Kitten Shot From a Canon At Sunset would work.
