Rick Sanchez Talks Shorty Awards

Posted on February 12, 2009

CNN's Rick Sanchez hosted the first Shorty Awards last night in New York. Rich Sanchez himself just started twittering a few months ago.

The Short Awards honored the most popular Twitter users in various categories. You can see the finalists and winners here. A Wall Street Journal article describes the drama surrounding the awards as some were accused of cheating and some dropped out of the awards.

The awards were not endorsed by Twitter and no one from Twitter, Inc. attended the awards ceremony.

The Shorty Awards shared this clip of Sanchez.
