Last year and earlier this year, GeekDad spent some time making sure you were all aware of the best geeks to keep track of in 140 character form.

So, we are pleased to see that many Geek Tweeps and some good friends of GeekDad have made the final nominations for this years Shorty Awards. Over 250,000 nominations have been tweeted for The Shorty Awards to determine the six finalists in each of the 26 official categories. The winners will be announced on March 3, 2010 at the TheTimesCenter in The New York Times Building and we will be hoping a few of our geeky heroes will be among them!

Here is a run down of the Geek representation in the final nominations by category:

• Brand: Sesame Street @sesamestreet & Marvel Entertainment @Marvel
• Celebrity: Nathan Fillion @NathanFillion & Stephen Fry @stephenfry

• Entertainment: MythBusters Official @MythBusters
• Government: NASA @NASA
