Simply The Best? Better Than All The Rest?

NOW Magazine has just opened up voting for all categories in their annual “Best of Toronto” issuestravaganza. Last year, we somehow won both Best Website and Best Blog. NOW wrote snarky things about us, but they also said that “there is no other blog that cares so much about covering the city”! Thanks NOW!
Because this year’s voting system asks people to either agree that last year’s winner is the best of its kind in Toronto, or disagree and provide a write-in option, the incumbents seem to have a bit of an advantage. (If you are so inclined, you can vote for us for this year here and here.) But while we have no idea whatsoever of our own chances, there is one incumbent whose odds of a repeat are a smidge less than great.

Thanks, man. Now that song is running through my head.

Actually, it looks like they put in their picks and then you can enter something else if you like. Otherwise you’d expect Torontoist to also be the default for ‘Best Website’ right?

They put in last year’s winners. (See Michael Bryant, above.) It’s just a little confusing because there are two overarching categories that people can vote in: critics’ choice and readers’ choice. Torontoist is the default for Best Website in the critics’ choice poll, where we won last year, but because there’s both a “Best Blog” and “Best Website” category in the readers’ choice thingies, we’re listed there as “Best Blog,” while Facebook is listed for “Best Website,” ’cause it was the winner of it last year, those thunder-stealers.
