Not really surprised. With no visibility of the actual votes, they could choose whoever they like. My trust of seemingly large internet organisations is pretty low when they could actually be anything from a massive company to a teenage kid operating out of a corner of his mums living room. I mean who is going to check on them if they choose various family members of the site owners? Nobody. Who knows what country they are actually residing in? Are there competition laws in that country?

Then again, LED sneakers. Isn't it obvious how LED sneakers are going to save the world. I mean the magnitude of the benefit to everyone from having LED sneakers is so obvious.

Paul, stick with making it possible for people to save a car, save a lot of money, save the planet, etc. It might not have the same benefits to mankind as LED sneakers but we like it.
