Little known fact: the highest rating telly show in Sweden for the last few years or so is the Donald Duck Christmas Special Show. Who knew?

Not me, until Eric mentioned it at the Heartland launch on Tuesday night.

But it's not "the last few years". It's [[http://www.slate.com/id/2239252|every Christmas Eve…

LATE was great (thanks Russell for the late tickets and thanks to whomever couldn't use them!).

An added reason to take the time and watch Pukemanu -the passing of Dame Pat Evison on the weekend.

Bob McCoskrie's Family First site is in the 'suggested' options for 'Best Family Site'?

I shudder to think what may be suggested for "Best Farming Site" Steve Crow's www.farmfun.co.nz ?.
To be fair, it does have the word "Family" in it so it must be a force for good... eh?.

It has to be said, if you thought watching Pukemanu on NZ On Screen was a fine thing to do this weekend (and indeed it should be), then sit back and enjoy this fine selection of 50 years of Kiwi TV Gold released on NZ On Screen this afternoon:

2010 NetGuide People's Choice Web Awards

Good grief. What a COMPLETELY uninspiring, totally boring and bizarre combination of way-too-obvious and WTF-did-they-choose-that-for??? selections that we-the-people have been given to choose from.

I know we are free to add our own choice and vote for it, but realistically the winners are most…

It might be clearer if they said the award was for bloggers who work for big media companies

Somebody's gotta look out for them.

So while its true that they're unknown by most of the blogosphere they're certainly 'top bloggers' in terms of audience size.

That makes sense, if the numbers and diversity of comments are anything to go by.

@Raymond – I suspect a lot of them are fakes, but some of them are very funny all the same.

I've seen the stats for the fairfax blogs – some of them get more visitors than any blogger in the country except DPF. So while its true that they're unknown by most of the blogosphere they're certainly 'top bloggers' in terms of audience size.

I won't be indulging the protest awards being staged by the so-called New Zealand Bloggers Union.

The NZBU represents all New Zealand bloggers, didn't you know? And you're a member! Its some VSM thing.
