2012 Vote for the Top Virtualization Blogs!

It’s that time of year again. Election time.  No, not for POTUS, but for vSphere-Land’s vLaunchPad top Blog award!  I have to say that the work that Eric Siebert does every year to update and maintain the vLaunchPad is tremendous.  He certainly deserves a great deal of appreciation for his work.  The usefulness and quality of content is  precisely the reason why I have kept it as my browser home screen for several years.  OK, here’s the link before I start rambling. :)

Thoughts from Josh

This year is quite different for me since I have a blog that is considered for voting.  During my voting I had an impossible time picking 10 top blogs to be considered for the top 25.  It is an amazingly daunting task given the number of strong blogs out there with amazing contributors.  I can’t lie, this year I voted for someone other than Duncan for the #1 spot but as I always say “I can always count on two people thinking what I do is excellent…me and my mom.”  In truth I feel that my choice was appropriate since while I have learned so much from so many on the list, my own experience blogging over the last year has driven me to learn more, share more, think more, and do more.

I am certainly not expecting anyone other than me (or mom…meh, not likely) to choose my blog as one of their ten.  I would love, however, to be considered for one of the categories that I’m eligible for: New Blogger and Scripting.  Even with those categories there are some amazing contributors…shucks I just like being part of the community!

Please do take a moment and cast your votes.  The folks listed in this “election” are extremely hardworking individuals who expend a great deal of time, energy, and resources in order to share their knowledge and experience with others.  I know this now more than I ever did before.  Seriously, some of these folks are just flat out amazing.  Thanks for reading.  Go Vote!  http://vote.vsphere-land.com/

P.S.  This year TrainSignal is giving away some of their vSphere 5 and VMware View training courses to random voters.
