Please help me out (lost nr1 place again)!

Update: it seems Mefeedia won. Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it a lot!
---

Alright, this time I need help from all you guys. I am building a website for video, and it is featured in a poll at the Businessweek website. I need everyone on this site to go there and vote for Mefeedia. It's a big deal to be on businessweek, and I can use all the help I can get :)

So if you like this site, can you do me a favour back for keeping it up all these years? Go to http://www.businessweek.com/technology/bestof/home_video.htm and vote for MEFEEDIA.

Thanks!
I appreciate it!
Peter

2retirensa says on Aug 27, 2005, 13:20:

Still ahead Now 63.6% with 2623 votes. It's taking a lot of votes to move just 1/10 of a percent! Good thing I can do laundry tomorrow.
Maureen

Patrick says on Aug 27, 2005, 14:43:

Can't beat the PBH group! 62.5%, let's keep it going!!

I just finnished painting the house for the day. I'm going to get back to the voting after I get cleaned up.

God Bless America!

Caballista says on Aug 27, 2005, 15:58:

Good for you Dan I do not know how to do the cookies. I'm trying.

Dan says on Aug 27, 2005, 16:15:

Caballista Go to tools at the top and go to internet options and the general tab half way down is where you can delete the cookies

God Bless America!

Caballista says on Aug 27, 2005, 16:34:

yeeeeaaa 64.1% again
Thank you Dan, but I have an Apple And do not know where the cookies are.

Dan says on Aug 27, 2005, 16:47:

hmmmm... in that case, I have no idea.

God Bless America!

Peter (Moderator) says on Aug 27, 2005, 16:58:

You guys are amazing. Rock the world. Mefeedia is back on top. I'm not sure how long the poll will run for, need to check it tomorrow.. the webpage says it will run for 5 days, so this should almost be the end of it..

Poor but snappy

Dan says on Aug 27, 2005, 17:02:

not to worry Peter with how much votes I put in there today, I don't think you need to worry about a thing. Having a touch screen helps move things along pretty good. (a LOT faster hehehe)

God Bless America!

Caballista says on Aug 27, 2005, 17:58:

Dan, it's now 69.9% it's fantastic!!
Go for it!

Caballista says on Aug 27, 2005, 18:00:

70.0% great!!

Dan says on Aug 27, 2005, 18:01:

haha Every once in a while, I'll notice other votes for the little guys and just think about how terrible it must be to be so far behind..haha

God Bless America!

Dan says on Aug 27, 2005, 18:07:

it's getting to a point where it takes a lot of votes just to move even a tenth of a percent.

God Bless America!

Caballista says on Aug 27, 2005, 18:11:
