DingDing become a Webby Honoreee

The Webby Awards, the leading international honor for web sites, today recognized www.DingDing.org.uk as an Official Honoree, a distinction that recognizes sites exhibiting remarkable achievement.

Hailed as the "Online Oscars" by Time Magazine, The Webby Awards are determined by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organization with a membership that includes musician David Bowie, Internet inventor Vinton Cerf, Naked Chef Jamie Oliver, The Body Shop president Anita Roddick, "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening, Real Networks CEO Rob Glaser, and fashion designer Max Azria.

"The Webby Awards honors the outstanding web sites that are setting the standards for the internet," said Tiffany Shlain, founder and ambassador of The Webby Awards. "DingDing's Official Honoree selection is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators."

The 10th Annual Webby Awards received a record number of entries from over 40 countries and all 50 states. Out of the over 5,500 entries submitted, fewer than 20% received this honor and were deemed Official Honorees.

Founded in 1996, The Webby Awards are known worldwide for its famous five-words-or-less acceptance speeches. Winners will be announced on May 9, 2006 and will be honored at a gala event at New York's Cipriani Wall Street on June 12, 2006.
