ApplianceAdvisor.com Changes Small Part of World

Back in June our crack investigative journalists identified a problem in the process of democratically selecting the Best New Product at the 2008 KBIS New Products Pavillion (see our June 2008 story).  The responsive folks at Nielsen Business Media have completely revamped the process for 2009.  Did we at ApplianceAdvisor.com drive the move to glasnost?  Did we lead our very own Orange Revolution?  Did we shine light onto the shadows?
Lacking any evidence to the contrary, we accept full credit.

The official description of the new program:

Best of KBIS 2009
This new competition (formerly New Product Pavilion) will honor the kitchen and bath industry’s newest and most innovative products.  An extensive panel of judges consisting of well known leaders and industry experts will vote on the competition. There will be a winner and runner up awarded for each product category as well as an overall “best of competition”.  Entries will be limited to new products released after the K/BIS 2008 show.  K/BIS attendees will also have an opportunity to vote on their favorite product with the “people’s choice” award.
