Lenny La Rue, IPA
I’m seriously impressed by the honour of being in the Top 5. Flickr was a nightmare of the most disturbing kind: the site allows people to graffiti other people’s work for “fun”! To stop it, you have to stop receiving the comments you post the work for in the first place. I was never madder, to be subjected to such crass behaviour and to have it SPONSORED by the site.
No, I won’t slam Flickr when I vote but Red Bubble isn’t in the league with flirting and snapshot sites that are just spin offs from search engine sites, i.e. Yahoo. This site is about a lot more than that or I wouldn’t even consider being here after being exposed to Flickr’s foolishness.

My mail server didnt like this but tomorrow it will happen. So start banging on those drums or YAHOO (ie Flickr) will win just because they have like a Bizzillion members.

Ginny York
Yeee Hah!! I will go give RB a vote!!
AnitaInverarity
CONGRATSIES We are the BEST- no question xx
Pilgrim
My guess is before this game is over everybody is going to need to get everybody they know to vote because we are up against a site that is 100 times larger than we all are. But we can do it because we are like Navy Seals or at least fur seals.
Pilgrim
And this is also interesting. Only two sites have been commented on enough to get in the tag cloud (and this is from all 500 or so nominees). One is Facebook (you may have heard of them) and the other is our own RB. So comment and tag (with RedBubble)
gabbielizzie
wow thats great,congrat’s going to vote
deb cole
RedBubble has always been deserving of first place. Got my vote too!

laurawhitaker
Still second place but thats my vote in there for RB :)
Pilgrim
Yes, it is going to require friends, families and workplaces to really get us across the line. Flickr seems to be getting votes but no comments. My guess is that Yahoo has simply got its 10,000+ employees to vote which is not exactly in the spirit of it all.
Bizin
AWESOME ! Congrats RB !
Denzil
Funny, isn’t it – none of Flickr’s ‘friends’ can be bothered to write a comment in support of their ‘favourite’ site …. hhhmmmmmm… it does all seem like a bit of a set-up. Never mind, RB will be the moral victor!
mandi andreasen
i will definatly vote…. Redbubble i have a huge wish and i beg you to grant it for me because you guys are awsome and magical and i know you can do anything. i wish that you guys would sell individual prints like 8×10, wallets, ext. the reason i wish this is because i want to run my photography business directly threw you because you guys are the best out their. please grant my wish, please, please! :) I LOVE YOU REDBUBBLE!

I voted. If I can, I’m changing my vote. I swear that there is stuff I am involved in here that I get ABSOLUTELY NO NOTIFICATION OF! Things like Challenge events, New work from my friends, etc!
When I voted, RedBubble was in first place. From what I see here, they’ve fallen. And that’s deserved!
I’m going to change my vote to Flickr! Suspend my account for speaking my mind if you will, but RedBubble does not deserve to win any kind of freakin’ award!
SHEESH!
Not that you seem to care . . .
BleuRaven
can i just say i have no idea what the differences are in what RedBubble is offering compared to “flickr” and “yahoo”
RedBubble plead your case please ~ i’m reading a whole lot of hool la
and i want to hear RedBubble’s position
Kyle Murphy
It’s an art site, why should it even be in the running against Flicker (Flicker??? What, I barely know her!? Haha!). Take pride in being outside the mainstream, unless the aim is commercial rather than artistic…
Temma
I voted. ♥ bubble.
red addiction
you got my vote! voted about a week ago! I hope we win!
webgrrl
I was wondering why suddenly there was a surge of comments for my Bubblelicious t-shirt – which was designed oh so long ago when i first discovered Redbubble. Then i clicked the VOTE FOR US button today, and found out! I already voted and twitted, facebooked (the works) last week.. so hadnt clicked the VOTE for RB promo links, cuz i already knew what it was about..
As the design was made when RB didnt have black tshirts and different type of printing production..the design looked a bit ‘off’. But i’ve fixed that now..and also dropped the price to a nice rounded figure :)
I’ve got one of these tees (white) compliments of RB..and it comes out really nice – and i get people asking and reading it all the bits and pieces i’ve written, each time i wear it :)
Flickr is also another big favorite site of mine since it first began, but Redbubble won my vote for it being an Australian and how it has given me a great boost of getting my designs/name out there thru their kindness in choosing my designs in several promotions, and i never can thank the RBubble Crew enough for that :)
Simon Aberle
You deserve to win this! I have voted. Good luck!

I guess the big difference between Flickr and RedBubble is that Flickr is a photo-sharing site for posting your holiday snaps. Whereas RedBubble is a community dedicated to the development of people’s creativity and allowing them to share (and sell) to the world. Very different objectives and offerings.
Maria Medeiros
Voted For RB! :) We are in second place! I also facebooked it! :) Hopefully we will get more votes! :) GO RB GO! :)

I just can’t bring myself to give out my email address to anyone anymore. Why the hell do we have to register anyway?
RedBubble replied
I guess they need to protect themselves from voter fraud (not sure if it is working giving where Flickr is). In any event I registered last year and no evidence of spam. But I understand your POV.

Peter, many thanks that was actually the power going out at our ISP! Deeply frustrating. Ruined my Zen morning entirely. We are in process of making whole system more redundant.
Peter Martin
why is RB 2nd with 194 comments but friggr is in the lead with 8?? EIGHT???
is this something to do with the exchange rate?
RedBubble replied
My only explanation is that Yahoo employees are voting and/or something is just plain fishy because it just doesn’t smell right to me.

Wonderful news, you certainly have my vote,
Terry Walker
The stats for votes may have flickr in the lead but the most telling detail is the stats for comments.
Flickr 9 comments
Bubble 204 comments
Now tell me which one looks like a community to you :D
Michael Rucci
OFF to vote now frisson is correct red bubble is the true community and WIN or lose we have made a statement

If I was able to vote against flickr I would certainly ask 20+ people to do so. Unfortunately we can’t so I asked 32 people to vote on Redbubble :-)... Hopefully they will do this before nightfall.

4/20/09 just voted for us (redbubble) we are in 2nd place at the moment. Well done everyone this site deserves and award. Dennis psart
Colleen Farrell
Must be a problem on that site. You have to register to vote, but when I click on the “register now to vote” button, all I get is a blank web page. Will try again later. Redbubble definitely deserves more recognition!
Kevin Means
Getting the same blank screen.
paolo1955
All right! Off to vote…….......

Went to vote but kept getting sent to a blank page when I tried to register.
I’ll try again in a bit.
btw—I “advertised” this nomination of ours on my home site at Vox.

Sorry I cant vote for a site that doesn’t have any direct line of support for its members. Redbubble isn’t functioning properly & image tags simply don’t work. Why don’t they work; I’d love to know & I’d love to ask someone at Redbubble directly but ooops support@redbubble has been suspended. Well that’s as much use as a candle in a thunder storm.
How many days has the site failed to function properly well I make it at least three days.
If you want my vote you’ll have to wait until you sort out the issues that are currently ruining the Redbubble experience for myself & many other Redbubble members.
Sorry I had to make contact this way but it seems like the best possible course of action in the current climate due to the total lack of support currently on offer.
RedBubble replied
Robin
We definitely share your frustration with site performance issues and can assure you we are putting maximum effort into resolving them. This will tend to happen a bit as a site as complex as RedBubble grows and I hope we can earn your vote in the future.

done… Best of luck…

A Vote for RedBubble, we have 22%, Flickr has 61%. I think it’s just because of the sheer volume of users and the popularity of it on search engines. The survey doesn’t mean it’s better, just more widely known. I bet most of the people that voted for Flickr have never even heard of the other four sites.
C J Hummel - ...
Sorry, this member will not be voting – as RB has increased prices for UK members only by 11.5%, on the basis of exchange rate moment between Australia and the UK. (RB’s explanation). In addition we get charged an additional 15% so called VAT, which is very curious, given RB is an Australian registered company. Our prices are 27% higher than anyone else on RB.
Hallo Folks I have NEWS for you – Sterling did not weaken by 11.5%, but a mere 5.6% against the Aussie Dollar.
Sorry NO VOTE from Me
RedBubble replied
But the pound has dropped by about 30% against the USD and 20% against the EUR – all of our t-shirts are made and printed in either Germany or the US and account for 50% of sales. When it comes to VAT the British government still collect VAT at the border – as they say there’s only two certainties in life – death and taxes.

I voted at this moment: 2nd place :)

i voted…
still at 2nd place
stevengeer
You must be joking. Why does RB feel the need to win a Webby award? Why the need to be so globally praised and accepted? I believe it has already established itself fairly well with its members. Is that not enough?
What makes RB unique and so well liked is the fact that it is NOT in the same league as Flickr. Nevertheless, by soliciting votes for a pointless award; RB has incriminated itself in craving the same populist mentality that flickr enjoys.
I fear that the more expansive RB grows, the more watered down and less desirable it will become. Sooner not later, the endearing qualities that creative people find in RB will be diluted with mediocrity.
I for one will abstain from voting.

A passionate and well argued case and we agree we need to keep the best of smallness. Challenge is not to lose this. Problem is we still aren’t big enough to continue to expand what we offer – things like photo books. But point well made and well taken.

Do we need to register to vote?
RedBubble replied
Hi Mariska. You do need to register. I think that’s the Webby’s way of making sure they avoid fraudulent voting.

Why should we vote for RedBubble? Why should we ask OTHERS to vote for RedBubble?
I have gotten a Security Certificate Warning today when I have logged in. There is a thread on the support pages where several other members have noted the same thing.
I have also received 2 emails (NOT Bmails) from RedBubble stating that they have listened to our recent complaints and will abide by members’ requests.
YET, nothing has changed. There’s no word about this Security Certificate thing.
RedBubble is now based in San Francisco. It is the MIDDLE OF THE WORK DAY in the Pacific Time Zone (where I am writing from).
I am seriously considering just leaving RedBubble. I love the friends I have made here, and have learned a lot from the artists I have encountered here, but the site itself (and, by extension the webmasters) is APPEARING shady.
When you lose trust, man, it’s all over. Not being a member of RedBubble will have absolutely NO IMPACT on my photography, or my love of photography. I will continue.
I am recommending to anyone who cares to change your vote over at the Webby’s, or to NOT vote for RedBubble.
What the hell do they think this will look like to any potential customers who try to visit and get a Securtiy Certificate warning that the certificate was issued to another web address?
SHADY!
If there’s no response or resolution by the end of business today, 5pm PST April 23rd, 2009, then I will delete my account before they can rip us off, which is the first suspicion that occurs to me. Assuming (because I do have a trusting nature to a point) that they have NOT ripped us all off already.
RedBubble replied
Thanks for the comment. Yes the security bug was identified and has now been remedied. These things do happen from time to time on all sites – particularly sites like RedBubble which are in evolution and growing. We (of course) are really concerned to avoid such events and try to remedy them as quickly as possible when they occur, if for no other reason than we cannot make money when you are not making money. Incidentally the impact of the security bug was limited to only a proportion of the IE traffic. We appreciate that these things are concerning but I have never heard of any sites (and have been developing them for 15 years) which does not have the occasional bug.

Done, good luck, but it seems flikers in lead,
