Today is the last day to vote for your favorite startups in Round 2 of the “Hot Storage Startups to Watch” competition. The top 20 startups in the online voting competition will move on to Round 3, while the bottom 19 will be eliminated.
Thus far, more than 5,400 votes have been cast.
Update: Unfortunately, close to 1,500 of those votes were cast by 2 bots. We have removed ALL of the bot votes, and the startups with the bots have been disqualified from the competition.
FRAUD ALERT: Any further cheating will result in immediate disqualification. Put the word out to your employees, supporters, and followers. If they cheat for you, they won’t be helping.
Note: Some startups that DID NOT cheat may see their vote totals changed, due to 2nd- and 3rd-place votes awarded by the cheating startups. You will not receive those fraudulent votes, but don’t worry; you will not be penalized for the cheating of others.
The vote closes this evening at 5 PM PT, so be sure to vote now!
