Not a suggestion for 'own category', but a suggestion nonetheless.

We're a thick skinned community (for the most part) capably of taking a couple jabs.

Oh gosh that is classic haha  I noticed your in the running for "Best Bitcoin Community Achievement Award" for your Bitcoin100   as Austin Powers would say veryyy niiiiceee...

The Bitcoin Community Achievement Award of 2011 has to go to Bruce Wagner, who united the Bitcoin community, though perhaps not in the way he intended.

Maybe, the "Bitcoin Accidental Achievement Award" then    I noticed someone already but a column up for "Worst Bitcoin Business"  Mt. Gox  ahaha

WOW! That was kind of whom ever did that of which, by the way, was not me. I just visited that speadsheet for the first time a couple minutes ago. I thought I would get nominated for the Get Smart Award, with most here being well aware of my detective skills. (I once offered up proof that Jacob Goldstein with NPR was Tom Williams)

I believe  the "most audacious bitcoin scam" is already on there    and Mt.Gox is all over there.

One thing. I looked on there and saw someone added bitcoinconsultancy.com, intersango.com, bitcoinmedia.com, libbitcoin.org, bitgroups.org. FYI, we're the same group Usually we say Bitcoin Consultancy is the umbrella (although it's more accurate to call it the R&D arm).

So probably you want to make that as one entry.

Also maybe consolidate Startup and Company? Bitcoin is still young, and every company listed is also a startup.

I added buttcoin on there. They are cool.

Yes, noticed that was done! I'll make note of it. Yes, I suppose there are "older" bitcoin company's like mt.gox for example and young one's like Dialcoin.com.  Excellent addition of Buttcoin!

I just watched someone delete a couple people including myself off of the Person of the Year list. I added myself back, of course.
