TheJournal.ie and TheScore.ie nominated for Eircom Spider awards

Between us, we’ve got the nod four times.

THE EIRCOM SPIDER Awards shortlist has been announced today and we’re delighted here at TheJournal.ie headquarters to see our name appear not just once, but four times.

The Eircom Spiders are an annual event, honouring Irish individuals and organisations for their outstanding achievements online and celebrating the successes of the Irish internet and digital media.

This year, TheJournal.ie has been given the nod in the News and Entertainment category but we’re also up for the best in Mobile App award and Social Media Interaction.

Our sister site, TheScore.ie, has also been recognised for its achievements in bringing Irish readers all the action from what has been an incredible year in sport.

The Business’ Choice Award is a new category for this year and TheDigitalHub.com, MenuPages.ie and Printing.ie are all nominated for the accolade.

Organisers have revealed that they received the highest number of entries for the internet awards since they were established in 1996. The winners will be announced at a glitzy ceremony, hosted by comedian Des Bishop, in Dublin’s Convention Centre on 1 November.

    Really? As if proof of wholesale international fraud is going to end up on the comments section of the journal. It will be hiding between Enda bashing and comments that viscount biscuits have notions.

    Happens very second of everyday around the world markets. Tip offs and press releases or “leaked” internal documents escape to the “public domain” or information is stolen or bought. Only different here is the wrong group of manipulating smart people made money from manipulating smart people how are in charge and there not happy about it.

    totally agree and a point to note that the Rothschild’s made their fortunes by hearing about news on the continent before everyone else using carrier pigeon and traded on the exchange in advance of the news… nobody knew their secret but it was that simple… information is power all right. hope they make money out of it again somehow..fair play to em…

    Flash Boys – A salutary lesson for any wannabe Wall St. Wolves out there. The game is rigged and the organizers are doing the rigging. A mind blowing read, impossible to put down. It has an Irish connection too – YKW, I’ll re-read it.
