Congratulations to the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) and their business blog The Scholarly Kitchen (http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/) for being among the five finalists for a Webby Award in the Business Blog category. The Scholarly Kitchen is a moderated and independent blog with nine contributors from varying sectors of the publishing industry. For those wondering what the bloggers are like in person, SSP is closing their 2010 annual meeting with a session titled Food Fight!, where several of the contributors will be on hand discussing the spiciest topics in publishing.
