Anyone ever heard of "Fourth-Day Universe?"

That was the subject line of my last post which apparently was omitted last time. I've edited, but that doesn't mean people who missed it the first time will see it now, so I'm reposting.

Apparently they've nominated Threshold for award in the Best Near Future/Post-Apocalyptic Novel category (yes, i find their categories somewhat odd, though I CAN understand the grouping in this case, it just LOOKS strange). This is the first annual award, so obviously no award track record, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about them. Is this just one guy with a website who's doing all the nominations, etc., or is there some actual organization involved and has anyone run into them before?

Hmm, well poking around it appears that Fourth-Day Universe started as a blog on science fiction in movies, tv and books that has gone pro or semi pro sometime last fall.

Basically something along the format that tor.com and it's sister sites have. Ie more of a collection of web articles from various contributors on the theme.

The original site seems to have been science fiction fandom, reviews, thoughts etc.
