[7] In time for the first anniversary of Cool Site of the Day Davis inaugurated the Cool Site Of The Year award, also known as the Webby, which was first produced by Kay Dangaard and presented at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel as a nod to the first site of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars) Hollywood, California, in August 1995. As part of the proceedings, Davis held an email poll on a shortlist of five websites that had previously been distinguished as a cool site.[8] The award was won by The Spot.[9] On October 3, 1996, the second Cool Site of the Year awards ceremony was held at Webster Hall, a nightclub in the East Village, Manhattan.[10] Davis left the site in November 1995,[7] but it continued to thrive. By the end of 1997, Cool Site of the Day had spawned thousands of imitators, grown into an "eight-person mini-e-publishing empire," [11] and attracted millions of page-views a month. Davis' former employer decided to sell the site at this point.[11] References1. ^{{Cite web| last = Davis| first = Glenn| title = ANNOUNCE: Cool Site of the Day| work = comp.infosystems.www.misc| accessdate = 2011-02-23| date = 1994-08-10| url = https://groups.google.com/group/comp.infosystems.www.misc/msg/1c2d1d5709ca6cd0}} 2. ^{{Cite news| page = C7| last = Doernhoefer| first = Mark|author2=Shellie Holubek |author3=Scott Moore | title = In the Throws of Winter| work = Washington Post| location = Washington| date = 1994-12-29}} 3. ^{{Cite news | last = Chervokas | first = Jason |author2=Tom Watson | title = Silicon Alley Trades Attitude for Maturity | work = New York Times | location = New York | accessdate = 2011-02-22 | date = 1996-09-23 | url = http://partners.nytimes.com/library/cyber/digimet/0923digimet.html }} 4. ^{{Cite journal | last = Ankerson | first = Megan Sapnar| title = How Coolness Defined the World Wide Web of the 1990s | journal = The Atlantic| accessdate = 2014-07-17| date = 2014-07-15| url = https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/07/how-coolness-defined-the-world-wide-web-of-the-1990s/374443/}} 5. ^{{Cite journal | last = Gibson | first = Julie Gammill | title = Location, Location, Location | journal = American Journalism Review | accessdate = 2011-02-22 | date = September 1995 | url = http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=2032 }} 6. ^1 {{Cite news | last = Guernsey | first = Lisa | title = As the Web Matures, Fun Is Hard to Find | work = New York Times | accessdate = 2011-02-22 | date = 2002-03-28 | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/28/technology/as-the-web-matures-fun-is-hard-to-find.html?pagewanted=all }} 7. ^1 {{Cite news | title = The Net 50 | work = Newsweek | date = 1995-12-25 | url = http://www.newsweek.com/1995/12/24/the-net-50.print.html |accessdate=2011-02-22}} 8. ^{{cite news | first=Joseph| last=Gallivan|date=1995-09-18| accessdate=2011-02-26|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/which-is-the-spot-for-you-1601661.html|work=The Independent|title=Which is the Spot for you?}} 9. ^{{Cite news | title = 1st World Wide Web "Webby" Awards Announced | work = Newsbytes | location = Hollywood | date = 1995-08-30 }} 10. ^1 {{Cite news | last = Ryan | first = James | title = What's Cool on Line?
