Tweet to Support Vegans
Twitter’s “Shorty Awards” provide tweeting vegans the opportunity to support their ideals with 140 characters.
January 16, 2010
Voting for Twitter’s 2nd Annual “Shorty Awards,” which recognize the best producers of short real-time content, is once again underway, and this time vegans with a penchant for brevity have their own category to compete in. Last year, Vegansaurus and Eating Consciously each cinched a place as finalists in the overall food category, and were the only vegan accounts to break the top five. This year, with the introduction of “crowd-sourced” categories, vegan tweeters have their own exclusive venue to compete in. While awards are only given to official categories, Twitter states on their website that new categories may be made official if their popularity grows. Users tweet this month to nominate an account, and nominees are narrowed down in February. If the vegan group receives enough activity, its winner will join the other 27 official categories at the awards ceremony in March.
