MacGourmet News

Macworld magazine is opening up nominations for the Reader's Choice awards. This year, they are making it easier for small indie Mac developers (like me) to get recognized.

After last year’s awards, we asked for your suggestions on ways to improve the Readers’ Choice Awards. We received a lot of constructive feedback. But perhaps the two most common suggestions could be summarized thusly:

1. You want the opportunity to hand out more honors to more deserving products.

2. You’re particularly interested in recognizing third-party developers, especially those who produce low-cost software, shareware, and freeware.

Well, you’ve got it. For 2007, we’re doubling the number of reader awards to four. And we’re introducing some new categories which, ideally, will give more developers a shot at earning some accolades.

So, do you think that MacGourmet could be "Third-Party Software of the Year?" How about "Mac Gem of the Year?" If so, Macworld is asking for nominations in this forum thread so you can let others know! There are so many great applications from indie Mac developers, do don't forget to nomimate your other favorite Mac apps there as well.
