It sounds superdemocratic when they say, “the blog readers decide”, but that’s no use, because blogs which have many readers will inescapably win, and lesser known blogs which might be of a better quality will lose. Does “Hitmeister” reach so many people that “independent” visitors might make a difference? I doubt that.

So what’s the point? There should be an extra Jury Award or something else that’s independent from the number of daily visitors and honors the little pearls.
