Entertainment Weekly won both for best overall video and for blog (“PopWatch”). Condé Nast's Vogue.TV won in the Advertiser Program/Partnership category, while Style.com’s iPhone app won in the Mobile Application category.

Six seminal figures in the development of magazines online were inducted into min’s Digital Hall of Fame as well. Ambrose inducted John A. Byrne of BusinessWeek, Jeff DeBalko of Reed Business Information, David Morgan of Simulmedia, David Morrow of TheStreet.com, Caroline Palmer of Vogue.com and Kevin Poulsen of Wired.com into the hall. Both Scholastic and Newsweek earned awards for their unique coverage of the presidential election. In addition, a number of honorable mention honors recognized magazine brands for their online coverage of the economic collapse late last year. At the event, award recipients were asked to relay good—or bad—advice that had been passed along to them earlier in their careers. Andrew Romano, senior writer for Newsweek.com, accepting for Best Consumer Blog (Newsweek's Stumper), said the worst advice he's received is to always write short when writing for the Web. "I wrote really long blog posts and ignored that advice," he said. "When you do a blog, you have to do what you're passionate about. Readers didn't mind going beyond two paragraphs." Hall of Fame inductee John Byrne said the best advice he's received is "to not plan your career." In reference to the current economy, Jeff DeBalko advised attendees to "focus on all those things you can do better, not on the things you can't control."
