Just three guys from Iceland. The site is independent from all political parties, companies or hidden agendas. It's just an idea a 22 yo guy in Iceland came up with and executed with a little help from a couple of friends.
It started with the 2008 US presidential elections. We were interested to see who would win the election if the whole world had a chance to vote. We are interested in the different cultures and their opinions on different matters. This site is our very unscientific attempt to analyze different countries and cultures.
Only once. Each computer can only vote once. Yes you can clear your cookies and vote again, but we have a script(called the Psychic Monkey) that looks for multiple votes and specific voting patterns and deletes fake votes before we publish the results.
Yes! We believe that anonymity is an integral part of controversial votes. Although we use IP Addresses to determine where people are from and to detect abusers, we promise to never reveal them to anyone.
