Tipping Point for IfTheWorldCouldVote.com

As you may know, I have a pet project with two of my friends which we call IfTheWorldCouldVote.com. It's a website where we give the world an opportunity to vote.

We launched the site in early June and got a pretty good start, with over 3.000 votes from almost 40 countries in the first day. It's been growing slowly ever since and on September 10th we'd got 20.000 votes. Since then the traffic has been growing fast and the word has been spreading. search.twitter.com shows an increase in mentions of the site and the number of blogs linking to it grows fast. It looks like we reached a tipping point now in September and last Wednesday night we reached 100.000 votes!

I think we will not reach our "insanely ambitious goal" of more number of votes than voted in the last US election. But we might reach a million. Possibly. To get there we need a little more publicity, so feel free to tell the world about our little experiment.

Bloggers from all over the world have written about If The World Could Vote:

I refuse to believe that this is accurate. All you have to do is clear your cookies and vote again.

There is another site like this: worldvote08.com. It won't let you vote twice.

iftheworldcouldvote.com was a very nice idea for a site, and a lot of fun. It let us all vote in the US Elections. I found the results from different countries very interesting & your idea was the direct inspiration for my own site

Following my own investigation, millions of people on our planet get the www.lowest-rate-loans.com at good creditors. Hence, there's good chances to find a secured loan in any country.
