So what about a: POST OF THE WEEK -and/or- COMMENT OF THE WEEK?

Newbie here.

Don't really know my way around. Maybe these already exist?

If not, then maybe we can give them a shot?

My ex-favorite website Gawker did it, and it was a fantastic way to record some classic commenter creativity.

Maybe a nomination thread tucked away in a corner somewhere?

If I'm overstepping my bounds here, please let me know and I will leave quietly.

On Gawker, who decided the "winner"? Just curious.

You would link the comment and post it in the 'tips' thread or email the comment to them or sometimes I think they found it on their own...

Did feelings get hurt?

Or blog politics get involved?
