Thanks for coming and watching everyone. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners!

Guys…seriously Facebook is not a startup. I hate to break it to you but they are worth more than a lot of “public” companies. This is ridiculous that they are even in the conversation of being astartup. Seriously a company with 300M users – more than 8 canada’s (you said it first arrington) is a startup?! C’mon Mike, what is the purpose of the crunchies anyway?
Anyhow, congrats to facebook on being an amazing story. You just aren’t a startup anymore. It’s weird seeing Zuckerberg on the stage..he doesn’t belong. He’s already well past receiving a “startup” award.

google chrome os best technology achievement: wtf who voted for that smh.

amazon web service should have won best enterprise

I liked Google Chrome and Google Wave as the Best Technology Achievements!
Nobody seen them really yet,
It is similar to the Nobel Award for the Mr. Obama!

How can Bing be considered a startup product?

Congrats to Drew Houston and DropBox. A well deserved Crunchie in a tough category.

Just got back from the Crunchies.
Best internet app, Dropbox, definitely was most deserved. Like everyone felt, awarding facebook (Best overall Startup) was little odd! In other awards, I guess the controversy helped Mark Pincus take home the award of best CEO, else I thought Tony Hsieh (Zappos) should’ve been the one!

I think we should exclude those who had already won(best start up or best product) next year! so newones would come up..

Congratulations to all winners.

Some winners seem a little odd to me (e.g. Google Docs in Enterprise), but that’s probably what you get when you let the audience vote (mainly consisting of consumers).

Same for Facebook, considering votes of a 300M user base in the decision making gives you “popularity” not “quality” (and i would consider “best” being “best quality”, even if just recognized by a small audience).

However, nothing we didn’t knew before and it was an entertaining piece. Personally i would like to see the rules for the Crunchies to be a little more like the one of the Oscars (5,000 nominated voters out of the industry), but it is what it is. This way we will probably never see and underdog win, which makes it a little more boring than it could be.

I know what does it say about the web when Mark Pincus is CEO of the year… kind of really a sad commentary on the ethics online…

Wikipedia says a startup is “a company with a limited operating history. These companies, generally newly created, are in a phase of development and research for markets. ”

Since this is kindof an award for startups and startup related things it makes perfect sense that Facebook (6 years old, worth more than the GDP of *most* countries), Google (10 years old, worth more than the GDP of Israel or Singapore), and Microsoft (30 years old, worth more than the GDP of Finland) would win.

If the vote is on achievements since they started and not necessarily 2009, FB is great. But it was not a startup during 2009.
I guess you agree that a company with a campus and hundreds of millions $ funding can be hardly called startup anymore.
(how do you define a startup? max funding? not older than two years? 5 years? voters may remember FB start, but it was not a start-up during 2009 )

What an impressive list of companies and products! Congrats to the winners! Three in a row for Facebook…I wonder if next year will be the year they finally get dethroned?

I don’t think Facebook should have one the ‘Best Startup of the Year’ for 2 reasons. Firstly, it wasn’t a startup 2009, it was around before. And secondly, I am seeing so many people move away from it. It is beginning to go the way of MySpace. I prefer to split Facebook’s functionality into the two useful bits: quick small updates (I now use Twitter), and contact details (I now use LinkedIn).

The purpose of the Crunchies, like all awards ceremonies, is to maintain hierarchical status-quo through a public display and celebration of power. Everything peripheral to that is pomp and anecdote.

It was a great night, thanks techcrunch from Mexico

I think it’s a good award show in general but Facebook winning the top prize all 3 years is just incredibly lame.

I meant Google Chrome OS, not Google Chrome Browser.
How often do you use Wave? Most of the people I know who are used it, do not use it after the first tries. “it is ok, but does not give you anything new.”

Why don’t you just answer his question, instead of reverting to trying to be smart? He obviously reads the your blog if he knows you get the same comments every year about Facebook.

[...] Last night we attended The Crunchies 2009, the annual web industry awards event hosted by our friends at TechCrunch, GigaOm and VentureBeat. The awards ceremony took place at the Herbst Theatre, with an impressive after party in the rotunda of San Francisco’s City Hall. Here’s the full list of Crunchie Award nominees and winners. [...]

Great event as always, plus having a part in City Hall is hard to top.

Facebook is not yet in profit (because its liquidation preferences keep increasing among other reasons); therefore, it’s a startup.

Best overall start-up/product of the year was Facebook, which won the category third year in a row. (The complete winners’ list is here. [...]

I have a lot of respect for Facebook and believe they deserve plenty of awards. Personally I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to have FB competing with true startups that have 1/100 the enterprise value and 1/10 the number of employees or registered users, but that’s similar to the way the Oscars only recognize one Best Picture when comedies, dramas, action pics, etc. are truly apples and oranges. Those who organize the awards have the right to decide how to categorize things.

As a former MySpacer, I have to disagree with the post above that FB is destined to go the way of MS (although I’m rooting for a turnaround). FB has become an essential communication tool the way email used to be, and appeals to vast range of ages — whereas MS has mostly been targeted at young consumers of pop culture. FB has blown away so many other services because it swallows up email, IM, photo sharing, event invitations, microblogging, social bookmarking, news bookmarking, and on and on…

After all the criticism TechCrunch slammed at Mark Pincus in 2009, he wins Crunchies’ CEO of the Year Award? Is this an admission that the criticism went too far? I feel like I’m missing something…

You realize people vote for who wins. Michael Arrington isn’t David Stern. He’s not a dictator.

Mr. Van Winkle, I think we can agree that these countries are much older than any of the companies you mentioned. Therefore, the phrase “limited operating history” applies. Let’s look at the other part of the definition. “Phase of development and research for markets.” Yes, I think we can safely say that Google et. all are in a phase of developtment. Can we say the same of Finland?

Typo: “Development.” When is Techcrunch adding the ability the edit a post 60 seconds after you post it? Mahalo (oddly absent from the crunchies) lets you do this. Take a page out of your TC 50 partner’s book. Sigh… we all know JCal is the brains in your business relationship. If your partnership is like John and Paul’s, then JCal is no doubt “the brains” (John). Arrington is definitely Paul. All he writes are “silly love songs.” While Jason builds things of lasting value like Mahalo Answers, all Arrington does is write posts about being spat on and trying to escape from his fictitious stalker concocted to drive up pageviews….like Paul wasting away on another catchy yet pointless pop song.

There was a period of time last year when I really worried about Arrington’s sanity. He seemed willing to write anything…ANYTHING…to get a pageview. I was waiting for a post with the title “Someone put a giant dead horse in my bed while I was sleeping yesterday”

You’re all pretty good too because you took the time to admit that I am #1 and very, very kewl. You more less rawk… almost as much as me.

Thank you… (to me) for being #1

Your Welcome (me)

Anytime Me, Anytime

It’s official, I have been nominated and elected the kewelest person… EVUR!

So since these awards have begun, Facebook gets nominated as best start up 3/3 times? 2/3 times would be ridiculous… 3/3 times is … ughh … Insane?

I think Wal-Mart should have took best start up. I mean, they sell computers… OVER THE INTERNET EVEN, right? I don’t remember them being around when I was a kid. That makes them a start up.

Yea hugh, it does tooooo.

Infinity +1… HA!

On the other hand, maybe we could make human greed the best start up. I mean we have only been crawling around on this big rock for a few thousand years now. Face it, when you want to make money, turn to human greed to get the job done. The brain is a big computer that makes computers that get on the internet. Now I understand why they give out monkeys with clubs as awards.

Pincus for CEO? Yeah, I play the mafia wars, and they were begging for votes in-game, so I guess Zynga is riding the coattails of Facebook.

If you’d like to include a truly ‘social’ game for next year, look into Castle Age on FB. It relies on interaction with other players much more than the other games I have played.

I guess I’m just wiped out complaining about Pincus and Zynga. After the debacle that their games have become, I don’t see how he managed to pull it off (except that Mafia Wars and Farmville have a combined daily use closing in on 10 million).

And, Bing as a new startup? They poached their own code and data from MSN to create Bing. That’s not NEW, it’s a revamp. That’s like saying Vista was a startup, or XP, or even W7. Come on!

To bad you can’t take back FARMVILLE’s Crunchie Award! They surely don’t deserve it…but then…the award wasn’t for responding to players’ concerns, or fixing bugs in the application. Maybe you should have a catagory for Best Customer Relations…..don’t even try for that one ZYNGA!!!!!!!!!

How Pincus got the best CEO award I have no idea.He honestly has no idea of how to run a long term company.

He has publicly admitted to committing cyber-crimes encouraging his users to infect their PCs, the Zynga customer services leave a lot to be desired – send them a support message and all they do is paste a script back to you from notepad, that either makes NO sense or bears no relevance to the question, or they just dont answer at all.

They kill popular games such as My Heroes Ability which had hundreds of thousands of players, but keep their less popular games such as Heroes vs Villains – wheres the sense in that?

They make changes to games which NO long time user likes, like removing the constant flow of tourists in Roller Coaster Kingdom

Finally, Mark only cares about money rather than a good gaming experience. Everything they add to a game these days all cost the players money if they want to use it, like the new fish on fishworld, 80% of new items they add to farmville, The Cuba section in Mafia Wars requires you to pay to complete achievements and missions.

Overall – Zynga just plain suck and I can’t see them being around for much longer – better companies like Playfish, RockYou and Watercooler Inc. will create better apps, and more importantly they actually have staff who listen to their users and reply to all messages.

if you want a good game to play, Kingdoms of Camelot is the best new startup – by Watercooler Inc. First released november 2009, it now has well over 500k users and rapidly increasing.
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=130402594779

yeah exactly my thought. It was the same in ALL of their games.

but combined daily use of 10 mil? don’t you mean 100 mil people with nothing better to do? farmville has at least 60m players lol – probably most multis used for glitching and gifting
