The Online Mom CHOICE Awards

Next week, The Online Mom will launch the first of its 2010 CHOICE Awards.

The awards in each category acknowledge innovation and excellence in products and services for the digital home. They have been selected for their contribution to making the digital life safer, more accessible – and just more fun!

Each month we look at dozens of gadgets, web sites, games and services. Some are new products from the giants of the electronics industry; others are just great ideas from unknown start-ups. Some will go on to be household names, setting new standards for the products that follow; others will toil in relative obscurity, perhaps overshadowed by bigger brands or just suffering from slow adoption.

Whether they are world-beaters or just great ideas whose time is yet to come, The Online Mom CHOICE Awards will make sure they get due recognition – products and services that are simply the best in their class!

While we expect to evaluate most products through the eyes of a parent, we will also recognize innovative toys, games and gadgets that are fun for our kids. Our criteria will include safety, durability, educational value, ease-of-use and, of course, value for money.

Some products or services may have been around for a while but most will feature a new release or an enhancement that makes them even more deserving of recognition.

So look out for the first Online Mom CHOICE Awards coming next week.  We look forward to bringing you the best of the best!
