October 2,
Now things are starting to happen fast.
We have finally reached 100,000 votes! CNN we be featuring the site on the "American Morning show" tomorrow morning. And BBC4 will also be featuring the site on a show called iPM next saturday. So hopefully we will get more votes from the UK.
Keep up the good work in telling people about the site:)
--------------------------------------------
We've got over 50.000 votes from over 150 countries. The site has been getting more attention and publicity - so much that the Economist copied the concept.
But hey, we're not letting the big guy steal away our idea? Help us make sure that everybody knows where this comes from and where to vote. We're going to show The Economist that they will never even get close to the number of votes we have.
So invite your friends, share on your blog, digg, tweet, stumble ... We're going to make the voice of the world heard!

Awesome, we've been online for two days now.
In those two days we have received:
3000 votes
from 50 countries
and 45 diggs
And finally the F.A.Q page is up.
Soon we will be offering the site in a number of languages.
This is great but we still have a LONG way to go. Keep up the good work in telling people about the site :)
