Well the Zeddies were set up in response to the bogus WebIreland awards [1], the equally useless Golden Spiders and the originally useless Netvisionary awards. That said, when the new management took over at IIA, the Netvisionary awards changed to being more trustworthy and representative. (Though the litany of press release recyclers that won the technology journo Netvisionary award still makes me laugh. ) Though the Golden Spiders awards have been utterly useless since they started. All they really are is an excuse to extract money from companies who think that they are in the web business.

It might be worth mentioning this on the Open list as I think some of the Zeddie people are still on it.
