Hurrah!! Thanks to everyone who nominated Regator earlier this month, we’ve made it past the primaries and are now a real, honest-to-goodness candidate for Best Social News site in Mashable’s Open Web Awards. This is absolutely awesome news for our young site.

Please vote for us and vote OFTEN (you’re allowed one vote every 24 hours) using the fancy blue widget on the right.

From here on out, it gets very David-and-Goliath. You see, our three-month-old startup is in the top ten with sites like Digg and Socialmedian. Yes, Digg. So we really need your help. We’re not only asking for your daily vote, we’re also asking (okay, begging) for you to share this great news with everyone you know who might enjoy Regator.

Atlanta startup Regator is doing battle with Dig and others in the Mashup awards. Show your support by voting for them once per day, per email address for the rest of the week. They are currently in the top 10. If they get top 3 it will rocket them to success, so be community minded and vote!
