What will be the impact of winning this year's Open Web Awards?
One of our sites http://www.college-cram.com has been named a finalist in the Mashable Open Web Awards, in the How-To category. We're trolling for votes wherever we can, but I'm wondering what the eventual impact will be to the winner.

I'm a pretty avid read of mashable (I check it a few times a day) - that being said, I don't think the open web awards will have that great an impact (I usually try to skip over the posts regarding them). My guess is, those who found your site thanks to mashable, and liked it, will continue to use it. Winning the web award probably won't garner anything greater than a spike in traffic.
Great linkbait and a decent spurt of traffic - but that's about it i'd imagine.

About the same as last year's: ABSOLUTELY NONE.
You guys are talking to yourselves and the world is not even interested in eavesdropping.
