While it still could take out the peer-voted award, it's pretty much clear that LiveJournal is going to take out the People's Voice Award for Personal (LJ 32%, Blogger 22%), and will take Services from PayPal too.
Still, if you genuinely believed Blogger is a better product, then I'll respect that. I just won't agree with you, that's all.
By the way, I'm still wondering - you registered brodiebear a while ago - are you planning to use it?
Actually, I've done more thinking about the webbies. See, they're about recognition not necessarily competition, although that's healthy. I'm of the belief that they're different enough animals to deserve their own awards or at least categories to compete against more appropriate candidates (i.e.. blogger against greymatter and LJ against editthispage). Blogger is a personal publishing system that's highly extensible by the user. LJ is extensible for registered users but focuses on community. Although both LJ and pyra are muscling in on each other's best features. Pyra with blogspot.com and LJ with S2.
So, for now, I see them truly as equals.
As for BrodieBear, I planned on using it originally as my journal or at least for posting non-anonymous comments with it. Although I have a personal aversion to all things suffixed or prefixed with "stud", "jock", "bear" or "cub". Nothing wrong with it, but it just doesn't describe me. I really should delete the journal so if there's another hairy homo named Brodie out there he can use it. Not bloody likely ;D.
Don't forget that LiveJournal is also coming up with MyLJ, which like Blogger will allow you to use the LJ interface to update a blog on your on server. It's coming.
Oh, and there's no point in deleting brodiebear - it doesn't free up the name for anyone else even if you do.
