Congratulations to Facebook, Bing, and the other Crunchies winners

We held the Crunchies, the awards that honor the year’s achievements in technology, on Friday in San Francisco. The awards were co-hosted by TechCrunch, GigaOm, and VentureBeat, who also selected the nominees, but the ultimate winners were chosen by the readers who voted at the Crunchies website.

Here’s a list of the nominees, with the winners highlighted. You can see Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of Best Overall Startup winner Facebook, receiving his award and a bottle of Vitamin water (don’t ask me, I was in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show) from VentureBeat editor Matt Marshall in the photo above, as well as Zynga’s Mark Pincus, triumphantly brandishing his CEO of the Year award in the photo below.
