Wow! This is going to make things pretty competitive there. Unfortunately, it would also make things very subjective and open to ballot-stuffing which was seen during the Asian Weblog Awards under the Indian category. It’s an attempt anyway… let’s see how it proceeds.

I understand that anytime there is competetion, there is going to be attempts to hijack the competetion, Ankh. Hopefully, for now the number of people voting is small enough that we can catch such things before they become a problem.

Is ballot stuffing illegal ? :smartass: maan! then i have no chance of winning. Niraj always says he is a winner. So he is gonna collect all the money

Reports have it that homeland-security-Jegan is returning after doing the dirty in the Big Apple. Expect him back in Chennai on the 19th.

I think this is going to be a lot more fun, Patrix :)
Ankh, thanks for the update - I guess he gets to stuff the ballots for the next month’s Mela then ;)
