I obviously wasn't paying attention, because I was still soliciting props for one of my colleages, hoping they might win this baby. But… The 25 nominees for the Texas Social Media Awards had already been chosen. And congratulations to them all. Some real winners and some surprises. (I'm not sure how a business or two-people-as-one really fit the initial description of the award, but hey…)
So I would like to send my sincere rockin salute to the top 25 and put in my vote for the overall winner. (Not that anyone is asking me, cause they aren't. And not that I'm in any way associated with AAS or these here awards.)
The -*JMac*- Texas Social Media Award goes to Alan Graham of Mobile Loaves & Fishes. MLFNOW.ORG.
High 5 to Alan and his amazing efforts.
Using social media and social good will and social capital, Alan has built a foundation of health for the people who cannot afford health care. Meals, cold-night triage, out-reach. I am proud to call Alan a friend and look forward to watching him smile into the spotlight this Sunday night when the AAS staff makes their pick.
All of these people are winners. And all of them will be back next year, stronger, better, with more followers!

(I guess it's not really a people's choice award, but hey, a little social media support never hurts.)
