This award is brought to you by the letters T and D and the number 1

Yesterday saw the final ceremony for the Shorty Awards, the awards which honour "the best producers of short, real-time content on Twitter". 

Thanks to all the votes you cast online, TweetDeck made it into the final under the heading of "The Year's Best Apps On Twitter", so we sent along Sam Mandel, our man in the Big Apple, to TheTimesCenter in New York with his fingers crossed.
And it turns out that all that finger-crossing did the trick, as TweetDeck was announced the winner - an amazing result for us!
Over to our roving reporter Sam, for the news from the ceremony. Warning, this report contains a muppet...
"As the New York outpost of TweetDeck, I had the honor of accepting our award for Best Application at the Second Annual Shorty Awards last night. 

Despite moving from last year's location (a bar in Brooklyn) to the more formal confines of the New York Times Center, the awards were great fun and very well organized, with CNN's Rick Sanchez keeping things moving at a fast pace. 

It was a thrill to meet a few celebrities (Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, and especially Grover from Seasame Street), and to see the great things people are doing within the Twitter medium. 

Most of all, as at every real time web event, it was great to see how many people were using TweetDeck and hear from members of the TweetDeck community how our product makes their online life easier and more rewarding, as well as how we can make TweetDeck even better in the future."

So on behalf of the entire TweetDeck team, we want to say a huge thank you to every one who voted for us - you really are the most amazing community. It is because of you that we keep striving to make TweetDeck the best that we can.

Also our great thanks go to the organisers of the awards for putting on a great evening and for looking after Sam so well :)

And finally, thanks to Grover, for giving us a picture of Sam that will grace the walls of the Batcave for years to come!

OT, but I hope someone at TweetDeck is aware that as of yesterday morning (3/25/10), many people can no longer update Facebook from Tweetdeck. This may only be affecting your latest version, I don't know. But it's a big deal, and there are a lot of us out here who would appreciate acknowledgement of the problem.
