Wikiklesia wins Major Award

Dustin congratulated me on my chapter in Out of the Ooze, commenting "Congrats!  I mean, it's not "The Relevant Church" but it's pretty cool." The Relevant Church of course is that volume with contributions from the likes of Mark Driscoll, Karen Ward and of course, our own Dustin Bagby, lovingly referred to therein as "the Rock Star."

Well...

No, it's not The Relevant Church, but then again, did the Relevant Church ever win a Major Award?

Because another book I wrote a chapter for won a major award. And no... it's not a Lamp. :)

I wrote a chapter for the experimental Voices of the Virtual World. And it (the book as a whole, not just my bit) has now won a Society for New Communications Research Award of Merit. From the press release:

The Society honors innovative individuals, corporations, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions and media outlets that are pioneering the use of social media, ICT, mobile media, online communities, virtual worlds and collaborative technologies in the areas of media, marketing, public relations, advertising, entertainment, education, politics and social initiatives. The award winners were announced at the Society’s awards gala at the Colonnade Hotel in Boston, Mass on December 5th, 2007.

Very cool. If you haven’t already, you can purchase the book here.  All proceeds from the sale of the book go to the Not For Sale campaign.
