Dec 11, 2018 Staff Picks: Discovered at The Webbys Check out the Webby team's fav apps & sites discovered at The Webbys
The best of the Internet is often made by independent artists and small companies—something the Webby team knows well since many such projects win Webbys each year. So we asked our staff about the apps, services, and Internet “things” they can’t get enough of, that they only discovered through The Webby Awards. See a few fav Staff Picks below (the rest are here), and enter your work in the 23rd Annual Webbys before the Final Entry Deadline Friday, December 14!
Send Me SFMOMA
Jeff Zemetis, Director of Creative Content Discovered:Send Me SFMOMA – Winner in Cultural Institutions (Mobile) “Who can you text 'Send me cheese,' and instantly receive a wonderful Martin Parr photograph from his series British Food? 572-51, that’s who. It’s SFMOMA’s Webby-winning, text-based service that lets people explore their extensive archives in a way that’s quick, fun, and enlightening with their random results.”
Taylor Griffin, Associate Producer Discovered:Data Africa – Winner in Government & Civil Innovation (Websites) "One site I love is Data Africa: It’s a Webby-winning and Webby for Good-recognized project. I love data visualization and this makes important statistics both accessible and digestible!"
David-Michel Davies, CEO Discovered:Things 3 – Nominee in Productivity (Mobile) “Before Things 3, I had a small menagerie of other productivity apps that I’d tried but never fully embraced. Things 3 is the one that stuck. It effortlessly exists on all your devices, always synced, as ready to remind you to buy that Jeff Goldblum sequin pillow as it is to get real stuff done.”
Jordana Jarrett, Editorial Coordinator Discovered:Hair Nah – Nominee in Social Impact (Games) “Hair Nah is a dope Webby-nominated game about helping a black woman travel safely, while fending off creepy, zombie-like hands that try to touch her hair without permission. It’s a fun way to visualize a real societal issue that black women deal with.”
