Two weeks ago we announced the winners of the Flightglobal Webbies - The Aviation Web Awards 2008.
In case you missed it I've included the winners and runners up below together with the judges' comments.
Running and judging the inaugural Webbies has been an interesting and rewarding experience.
There was a great variety of styles, content, design and innovation in the hundreds of website nominated, and it's encouraging to see that the aviation industry is getting serious about online.
Having worked in several other industries I can say that it's not always the case. Some industries simply do not get the potential of the web and how it can make their businesses (both for transactions and marketing) much more efficient and effective. And many fail to see that we're really just scraping the surface of how business methods can be transformed through the new opportunities the web offers.
However, I think two things are at the heart of our industry's adoption of online technologies: the global nature of this business means that any process which helps to bridge the distances between companies and people is something will be actively embraced; secondly, many people involved in aircraft and flying have an innate love of new technology and innovation, of which Web 2.0 technologies are an obvious candidate.
Either way, with so much energy going into our websites and online innovations, it's a great online environment to be working in.
