SN HQ – The nominees for The Saltys were released yesterday and your favourite Sea Dogs blog is up for an award.

From The Saltys website:

The Saltys are the first ever celebration of the Saint John social media community. On the evening of February 17th, 2011 a diverse group of tweeps, facebookers and bloggers will gather at the Saint John Ale House from 5pm to 7pm to honor just a few standouts from the past year (Feb. 1st 2010 - Feb. 1st 2011) who have used social media to achieve personal, business and community related goals. Awards will be given out for Twitter Person of the Year, Best Facebook Page, Coolest Blog and Best Use of Social Media in a Campaign. This fun & festive event is free to attend.

Station Nation creator Jamie Tozer is up for the ‘Twitter Person of the Year’ award and we need your help in the voting. Simply go to The Saltys website list of nominees and select the correct Twitter person. Instructions can be found below:

“It’s an honour to be nominated,” said Tozer, somehow peeling his eyes off TweetDeck for a five-minute interview this morning. “Nearly every game has been live tweeted over the past two years as well as most Sea Dogs related events.”

“People don’t want to wait until the next day or even later in the day to receive news now; they want to get it as it is happening,” Tozer stated before the massive media scrum.

“Times are a changing. You know what I’m saying, man?”

The voting closes next Wednesday, February 16, at noon.
