This is no slam dunk, Pheed is up almost a point today. Do not underestimate them, they were back up over 30% for a while until a major crush of Mike and T supporters kicked in again. 26.276 right now.

Silly me! Did I say 'push them over 26% tonight'? We did that hours ago! No, let's push them over 27% tonight! We can do it!! Don't stop now, we're on a roll!

OK, based on the relative performance over the past 24 hours, here is my current projection: we will surpass 'Brand X' by Nov 20th if we keep up our current rate of voting (and so do they). We scared them last night with all our votes and they picked up the pace frantically today. But so did we -- by even more! We need to keep the pressure on! It's past midnight: time to go vote again, please!

... and we have now narrowed the gap to less than 3% and pushed them back under 30%! Way to go!! Keep it up. Here's that link again. Go for it!

Pheed has gone up 1.2% in the last several hours, from about 30% to 31.2%. Based on the fact that a single vote only raises the percentage about .001%, I'd estimate around 100,000 total votes, which means they have an excess of about 1200 votes over M+T just in the last several hours, which implies perhaps 1500-2000 total votes in their direction. Their percentage is going up steadily.

Wake up folks - it's gonna take a lot of us to counteract this.

We've narrowed the gap to just about 2%. That's great, but we really need everybody's votes to overtake them. Let's do it! Vote tonight!
Thanks again.

Did I say the gap was "2%"? Silly me. I meant to say "LESS THAN ONE PERCENT!" Take a look at THIS pretty picture! Man, we're going faster than ever. But we need all of you to keep it up, because the competition will freak out when they see this and stay up all night voting, so it may not look like this in the morning! Keep it up, keep it UP!! :) :) :)

Just carried out my official daily vote from each of my 2 PC's at home. I don't think that disabling cookies and banging in hundreds of votes is morally correct somehow, but I suspect that Pheed supporters may have used this tactic from very early on in addition to some from our Forum.

If we were to count just bona fide votes cast, I would imagine that Mike's band would be way ahead by now, and they have had to make up a huge amount of ground in the past few weeks.
