Today Inman News announced their 2007 Inman Innovator Award finalists.

They always have an interesting spread of candidates in each category. Some of them make you wonder- what is a traditional company like Coldwell Banker doing in a Innovative Broker category mixed in alongside one of the newest industry disrupters like Iggy's House.

Of course it is worth noting that our own Active Rain made the "most innovative media site" list. While I agree that Active Rain should be nominated for something, as it is a fantastic community site, I am curious as to what makes it a media site? All the other candidates in this category are primarily advertising supported. The audience aspect maybe? I would have fit it under the Blog category, as it is really one big, multi-author blogging site.

Overall, interesting to see this list. And further, it is interesting to the categories on the list. Who would have thought blogging would have been a catagory only a few years ago?

Good luck to all on this list and I will see you in San Francisco shortly!
