The $300 award for most popular blog goes to Ila Nivas for IT Copywrite. ITCopywrite is a technically advanced column which pushes the envelope in Semantic Web. In the recent two-entry series Transition to semantic web, Ila describes how to define and use data and metadata. In the recent entry PACT Analysis for Usefulness. Ila outlines a practical method for determining the merits of a system based on its usability and utility. Congratulations Ila!
The $300 award for most popular post goes to Alex Fletcher for his groundbreaking post Why Governing Open Source is Critical. In this post Alex tackles the ubiquitous debate behind open source technologies: the strength that transparency brings to the development process, versus the old proprietary model which ensures management recoups its investment. Alex is a lead industry analyst at Entiva Group, and his insight on the open source software industry has been invaluable to ITGumbo. Great post Alex!
The $300 award for most reader participation goes to Arnold Zafra, who has started a spicy conversation on his blog IT 2.0. Arnold writes daily about important news affecting the IT world such as Google making public documents more searchable, and the launch of MySpace to China. (Will it bring democracy or only poorly-lit webcams?) Arnold spearheaded the launch of ITGumbo as a headlining blogger, and remains a top contributor to our daily conversations. Thanks Arnold!
Congratulations to all our prize winners. I look forward to more spicy competition in the month of May!
