Yes! Extremely happy to announce that yesterday I won my second SXSW Interactive Awards (the first in 2007) in the “Personal” category for my portfolio site MarcoRosella.com, with a responsive zoomable user interface completely made in SVG.

Here’s the complete list of the winners:

I’m happy to announce that vlog.it has been nominated at the Webby Awards (“the Internet’s most respected symbol of success”) for the “Personal Blog / Website” category.

You can support my project voting for the People Voice Awards.

Thanks!

Just a quick note to announce that for the second time (I won in 2007 as ‘Best CSS’) I’ve been named as a finalist – with vlog.it – for the SXSW Interactive Awards in the ‘Motion Graphics’ category. Go SVG, go!

After two months and half, it seems that vlog.it has been well received out there, from SVG/HTML5 guys to motion graphics passionates to simple video lovers, not forgetting my neighbour Gustavo – a man with very personal tastes – that says that is “Ok.”.

For example, it won:
