On Thursday 3rd December 2009 I had the pleasure of heading down to London to spend an evening at the .NET Awards, hosted by the fabulous .NET Magazine. It was a great opportunity to finally meet some of the web folk we’re all familiar with, and to experience the results live at the awesome Altitude 360 venue in the centre of the capital. Here’s my video overview of the event from my personal viewpoint, and a summary of the winners of each category.

Congrats to developers of Smashing Magazine, Twitter and jQuiery :)
Every sites listed here deserves it. Congrats to devs as well :D
I feel privileged to be a part of the author team for the best blog of the year! ;D
Sounds like a great evening, congrats to all the winners
I am sad now why I missed it :( Where is the facebook ?
Aaah the joys of the roadworks between 28 and 24. Seriously though that looked like one hell of a good time. I take it the Erskine table proceeded to buy all the paracetamol in London the next morning..?
Hmm… twisted opinions but a fair result in the end …. i guess!
Congrats to IE6 – I’m glad they came on top :)
I’m pleased for Smashing Mag, TweetDeck, JQuery and Barack!!
Congrats to all winners, they sure earned iT! :D
Thanks for listing them, but I found it very annoying that there were no links to the actual sites. Like a gallery with only the thumbnails and no large pictures.

@Dan: Did we need paracetamol the next morning? No, of course not. We’re professionals.
Great summary, good to have it all in one spot :)
LOL! Infamy Award!
On the .NET awards website they list bbc.co.uk as the winner of the best redesign category. thanks for the summary.
Stephen Fry I have to disagree with that one lol, but the rest all deserve it :)
How can you not like Stephen Fry, he’s both everywhere and hilarious. The list is great, and like that the Whitehouse.gov was on there and that IE 6 won infamy.
Agree with dropbox and smashing mag.
Google chrome for innovation, strange choice
I have to say DropBox has revolutionized how I work with my business partners! It’s fast, it’s easy and it works!
Nice list, can’t say that I disagree with any of them.
Google chrome for innovation…
Twitter is the best! like always
Some winners show these awards have become a little bit “mainstream”, losing their innovative flair.
Güzel
cool film good to see how other designers are in real life
