The 2011 About.com Readers’ Choice Awards will showcase the best products, features and services in dozens of categories. Readers’ Choice grew out of a successful awards program on our Computing channel, and it’s being expanded this year to include multiple channels, from technology to hobbies to parenting. Nominations will be accepted starting Jan. 13, 2011. Voting will take place from Feb. 11 through March 8, with winners announced March 15. There’s no prize — just the bragging rights that come with getting recognized by the readers of one of a leading website owned by The New York Times Co. To learn more, visit awards.about.com.
