Oh yes, it's the season for lists, lists and yet more lists. Our roundup tends to get longer every year....and since we hate to break a tradition we've promptly lost our red editing pen. To chop it up into smaller, easier digestible parts, I'll start with our adland-centric bestest and mostest title-winners. Read more, you might be mentioned.
Best new adgrunt of the year (times two!)
Our fave new adgrunts of the year gains two months of super adgruntship juice just for being them.
* Update: We felt that Stealthman definatly deserved a mention as well, for tipping on interesting news and informed comments.
Best commenting adgrunt of the year
Lets not forget the commentators who share insights and jokes with us, just like the new adgrunts, they win 2 months juice just for sharing their two cents.
Most popular adland links out of the year
We love links, some links were loved more than others.
Like the hits, this is settled by you, dear adgrunt, by rating those you like and those you don't.Japander is still going strong, while Adslogans comes in second - bittersweet as Timothy RV Foster isn't here to see it. :( We miss the sloganmaven.
