eBay-owned social bookmarking site StumbleUpon won the award for best use of viral marketing at last nights Crunchies ceremony.

A collaborative project between GigaOm, Read/WriteWeb, VentureBeat and TechCrunch, the Crunchies celebrate the most compelling startups, internet and technology innovations of the year. Winners are chosen by public vote from the internet community.

Other notable winners were WordPress as most likely to succeed, Facebook as best overall, and Kongregate as best time sink site. If you ever want to do any work again, I strongly advise you not to click that last link.

    BTD2 is superb - but the last stage is SO hard!
