The Oscars for Social Media: THE 3RD ANNUAL SHORTY AWARDS!
On Monday Night, The Shorty Awards honored the best in content creation on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Foursquare, at The Times Center in NYC.
Some of the star presenters included: Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara (@STILLERandMEARA), Kiefer Sutherland (@RealKiefer), Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara (@StillerandMeara), CNN Anchor Ali Velshi (@AliVelshi), Stephen Wallem (@StephenWallem) from Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih (@TheRealMissUSA) and Miss Teen USA 2010 Kamie Crawford (@TheRealTeenUSA).For the Connecting People Shorty Award, Shannon Miller — a school district librarian and teacher based out Van Meter, Iowa — won! Shannon uses a number of social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, and Skype) to connect her students with their favorite authors, as well as with students around the world. Shannon also uses her blog to write about how she and her students “incorporate different technology into [their] learning every day.”
In the video, CNN’s Ali Velchi reiterates how one voter describes the impact of Shannon Miller’s online presence: “She connected me to my favorite author Amy Efaw, who I now have on Facebook and talk to her often. I am only 14; she has changed my life.”
