HubDub failed miserably in trying to predict the very unpredictable Mashable Open Web Awards.

HubDub saw a big future for the Huffington Post (in the &#8220-Politics&#8221- category) and Digg (in the &#8220-Social News&#8221- category)&#8230- [*] &#8230- but, curiously, these big-shot websites didn&#8217-t make it through. That&#8217-s strange, since the other websites they were pitched against are far less popular. The Mashable readers have a knack for fresh startups, maybe &#8212-they didn&#8217-t vote for the already established websites.

Do browse the list of the remaining contenders (among them, HubDub :-D ). There are interesting websites, there.

[*]

Huffington Post = 38%

Digg = 47%

These probabilities will crash down to zero in the coming hours/days, as these 2 websites are now eliminated from the competition, going further.
