Webby awards is a annual leading award honoring excellence on the world wide web (the internet). Every year thousands of sites are submitted, nominated and finally a winner is selected in each category.

Google+ is a very young and brand new social network with just being 10 months old but at the same time has over 170 million users. So, this is the first year for Google+ facing the webby awards.

But the great news is Google+ is one of the top 5 sites nominated in the social media category.
