Congrats Digital Vegitarian. Wow, this contest was so close. I wonder how Max Pool is feeling right now…. I know I’d be pretty upset (this is probably one of the closest online voting contests I’ve seen, with this volume of votes)
Congratulations to Digital Vegetarian, and don’t bite yourself in the ass MAX Pool, I know I would.
Congrats Digital Vegetarian! This one was closer than the Oscars. In your honor, I’ll have a veggie burger for lunch!
Congrats DV – A hell of a race! Like I said check out the geek bowling and be sure to sign up for Probloggers SXSW bus ride contest today!
Congrats DV. Sucks for Max Pool though, since he was declared the winner once by accident, and the whole stop voting-start voting thing… Wonder if that affected the outcome?
Damn, I voted for Max. We need a recount!
I think if you recount the chads, Max won.
Wow my vote really counted for once. With only 3 votes determining the winner it was a close race. Maybe I should pick someone to vote for for president then.
after seeing DV’s F-bomb rant in the comments the other day kind of wished somebody else would have won.
Wow now they can promote the band as well. what a win win
Congrats to the winner! *=)
damn i thought Max Poll had it … this was close
Thats kinda lame for the other guy, but congrats to the winner!
Another way to think about it is this: If just 1 person changed their vote it would have been a tie!
Congrats to both, feel a little bit for Biz though…
Congratulations to the Shoeperstar Digital Vegetarian!
It was close and it’s probably tough for Max Pool to come within 3 votes of winning. Max is probably thinking of the three people he could have called to vote for him. Neighbors, friends, family, doctor, dentist, the nice little old lady from down the street. Better luck next time.
Digi Vege is going to RockStartup like a shoeperstar!

…oh… Max was so close. As evidenced, every small step, every single penny counts on your road to success.
Congratulations to the Shoeperstar Digital Vegetarian. I wish you more and more successes.
congrats, i voted for the veg just cause i thought the name was awesome.
I used to be vegetarian. But since I am a little bit older I can’t say NO to meat.
I bet biz beacon feels like junk. lol =)
I have to say. I’m a little dissappointed to see DV win this thing after his whole immature meltdown in the comments. Also it seems like he’s more interested in SXSW Music than Interactive, which isn’t at the same time anyway, is it?
Congrats to Shoeperstar!
Wow a close contest! Congratulations!!
That contest was a close one. Congratulations.
Congrats Digital Vegetarian you won a close race. I was luck to get to vote. Let me know If you need anyone to carry bags. I do that and call for room service.
Cheers
If this ballot were in Florida, I’d demand a recount.
ms. or mr. Tsai, (hard to tell from your writing style)
have you read http://www.digitalvegetarian.com? I’m a musician and have never been to SXSW. We’re gonna make a great video, but thanks for your researched opinion. I apologize for the f-bombs alright? it wasn’t intended a I meant to cut and paste the rules and accidentally included the previous line from a private facebook post where I did swear. Immature, huh? You try sending hundreds of people messages to have them reply that they can’t vote – its like crying wolf. I agree it was a little silly as I mentioned afterwards in another reply, but I still think my 69 reasons post is win worthy. Max did a great post as well. I know that I spent 3 months on mine simply looking for Rockstar SEO content when the contest came out of nowhere.
Tsai, please tell me though, what should I be ‘more interested in’ please? enlighten me, I have had a long day. I intend to learn as much as I can from these pros on this trip. There’s way more money in SEO than music in most cases. I’m not stupid dude, I’m a shoeperstar hahaha. . . this is in good fun. comments?
ya me too
i guess unless you have root access to their server you would basically be stating this with really no basis or anything, but you are stating that so. hmmm. you must know more than the rest of us. See you at defcon beating everyone.
yeah i agree w/ kronis
congrats enjoy your trip!
Actually, Ohio is the most likely place where a virus was used to silently pwn elections on DREs with no paper trail.
Ohio
Congratulations DV enjoy your trip.
Thank you this is going to be a funny rockstartup webisode!
Congrats Daily Vegetarian!
Enjoy Maadi…hehe. Have fun buddy.
Really? God came and told you or what? lol
Some of these comments make no sense! lol
Congrats Daily Vegetarian!
