By Steve from V:social! On 05-02-2008 Chris, Sorry that you are disappointed (I would be too!). I've answered several of your emails to V:social however haven't rec'd a response from you. I'd be happy to talk, call me at 480-334-0103 anytime. I've rec'd today, and answered your most recent email, and understand that at 10a on Monday you'll send an email to the 600 folks you reached out to for votes, and in addition will be posting this to your 400 facebook friends to tell them of your disapointment (again, I'd be disapointed too). We have no indications that the site was not working over the course of two weeks as you suggest, Cameron's folks really worked it at the end (you should have seen the traffic!) he won fair and square.

Hey Good for Cameron -- well played. But seriously, as of April 30th, I was in first place, and technically won. This whole thing has been sketchy -- this company hasn't replied to emails or even announced the winner, yet, they've removed the 'placings' of each posting, and the numbers were often wrong. Good for Cameron (if he actually won) really bad for V-Social.

Chris, The "place" values that were listed along with the highest rated entries were not indicative of the actual standings, so they have been removed. The winner will be determined according to the formula described in the official rules. Sorry for any confusion, V:Social.

What a great idea, I probably spend more time on Facebook then watching T.V, and I know that the Ads that show up on each page often catch my eye. So, if a company were to post there Ads through a page like Facebook then the number of hits that that Ad would reseve, or page that it leads to, would surely be gigantic.

I"m pretty sure this contest is now rigged. Look at 'COOL DOGS' - came on yesterday after 5pm, right before it closed, now all of a sudden has more than 1,020 views. Pretty brutal. Cam and I were in this thing fair and square. V-Social won't reply to my emails, either.....
