Law blogs omitted from Webby nominees

The Webby Nominees have been announced and no law blogs made the cut.

However, a number of blogs and social media sites are included. Techdirt, an excellent blog with regular posts referencing legal issues in new media & technology made the list of best business blogs.

On the law side, the following made the list as to websites:

• FindLaw
• LawHelp.org from Pro Bono Net, a great New York based organization that helps people living on low-incomes and the legal organizations that serve them.
• Nolo – excellent legal content for small business people and consumers; supplies LexBlog clients with libraries of content for resource centers on blogs.
• The Hollywood Reporter ESQ. – entertainment and media law site headed by publisher, Norah Weinstein, a former Skadden Arps litigator.
• Thomas – Library of Congress

Only Hollywood Reporter ESQ. appears to make effective use of RSS feeds, something to be looking for any news and information site.
