Hello my friends, its time to share another awards show nomination rundown with you and this one is called the Shorty Awards. Though this particular honor has been doing its thing since 2008, it was very new to me so I culled this from their Official Wikipedia so you can also be up to speed on what it is if you were like me and not as in the know as you thought…After you read that I will get into the rundown of the recently announced nominations.
“The Shorty Awards, also known as the “Shortys”, is an annual awards show recognizing the people and organizations that produce real-time short form content across Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch and the rest of the social web”.

*** end of rundown ***
Piercing Ken Thoughts: So I’m going to admit that outside of a handful or two of the names mentioned in the nomination rundown that I don’t know a whole lot of them. I’m not the biggest sports fan or like the kind of music they are lending attention to but I am an animals fan so I will be looking up all of the pet clips and seeing what some of the leading social networking users are doing in the hopes that it will help my own branding out. As you probably already know, “The Chronicles” is using a wealth of the popular social networking tools of the day and post on them regularly.
