27/08: Nominations For Coolest Bloggers or Online Good Guys/Girls

I had a thought while sitting here on the front porch today, a thought about all the years I've spent online and all the people I've come into contact with through blogging and other online activity. I  know it's a bit warm and fuzzy, but I thought it would be nice to enable people to speak openly about others who they think have helped or contributed something good to their online experiences.

The idea of a list of "cool people" is not an original one, but perhaps it would be good to acknowledge those who you might feel are deserving of more than just a passing mention. It could be another blogger, it could be someone who has solved problems for you online, a mentor, whatever. I'm leaning towards a comment from readers about the person they feel deserves mention, including a link to that person's site or blog. (please note that Nucleus doesn't allow HTML in comments, so please just type the full URL of the nominee).

To make it difficult, nominations are restricted initially to one nomination per comment - if there are duplicate testimonials, that's fine and a measure of that person's coolness so if they've already been mentioned don't let that stop you. I have no objections to A-List bloggers but I'd be really interested to see who else gets a mention. It doesn't matter what they blog about either, all I ask is that your reason for nominating them is more than just a lame link juice attempt. I want real comments from real bloggers about real people.

I could kick off with a long list of names, but I won't. I'd like to hear from everyone who has something good to say about another person online and wants to promote that person by way of a "thank you". This will benefit everyone if we can get some links to "good people".  

OK - it's your turn.
