I was about to call it a night when I saw a post on this site. It is a simple site that asks visitors to vote for the next President of the US. Anyone in the world can participate. The results are astounding to the point of being unbeliveable: at 6 am this morning, the site had over 700,000 votes cast from 211 countries with Obama leading McCain 87% to 13%. The details of the results are quite interesting.
What interests me in this is that the site was developed by three guys in Iceland, purely out of curiosity, and purely funded by Google ads. In a short period of time they have generated a huge number of active visitors by asking a simple question. That is remarkable.
