NEW YORK, Nov. 18 - TechWeb's Internet Evolution (http://www.internetevolution.com), the Website for news, analysis, and opinion on the future of the Internet, won the min's Editorial & Design award for Best Blogs, recognizing the site's renowned ThinkerNet blogosphere, which publishes exclusive content from the biggest names in the Internet industry.

Internet Evolution was up against a number of industry leaders, including Entertainment Weekly, About.com, Harvard Business Publishing, Martha Stewart Living, Newsweek, Time, and Haymarket Media.

With regular content from industry leaders like Vint Cerf, Lawrence G. Roberts, Craig Newmark, and Andrew Keen, the now-award-winning ThinkerNet blogosphere has become the go-to destination for analysis and discussion on the future of the Internet.

This latest honor is Internet Evolution's fifth award this year.
