Update: we won twitter’s national Shorty Awards in “Green”, for 2010, thanks to our friends and supporters!

Help ele? We’re 1st in #green in US, barely! Just tweet: “I nominate @elephantjournal for a Shorty Award in #green bc…” then say WHY

Update: thanks to our readers and colleagues, we’re now number one with a bullet nationally in #green—by one vote over our worthy colleagues. We’ll need a few hundred more votes to win it outright, is my guess—voting ends in two weeks.

Will @elephantjournal go to the Shorty Awards? It’s up to our readers.

Only need 70 tweets/votes. Help? “I nominate @elephantjournal 4 Shorty Award in #green bc….” http://bit.ly/shorty RT

We only need 75 votes, as of tonight, to be in the lead. With 11,000 followers, if even 10 percent of you spend 30 seconds, copy and paste this and give your own reason after “bc”, then tweet it out, we’ll dominate.

“I nominate @elephantjournal 4 Shorty Award in #green bc……………………..”

Why’s it matter? Well, ’cause we’re small, indie, and having received nearly 20 top green twitter list commendations in the last year, we’ve seen twitter play a great part in surviving our transition from print to web.
