VOKLE and the Vator Splash Competition madness!
As most of you may already know, yesterday was the last day to vote for Vokle in the Vator Splash Competition. With just one hour left, and Vokle in 6th place, we gained an additional 40+ votes. The result? 4th place! This was a great boost going into the judging round for the opportunity to present Vokle onstage to a group of high-profile investors, entrepreneurs, and media.
It was really incredible to see all the support come in during the final minutes. We want you to know that we really appreciate it guys, because there’s no way it would’ve happened without your support. Just to name a few of the fine gents that helped during the final minutes (in no particular order)…
Hiran (for his awesome bongos and tweeting abilities)
Peter (who’s super cool…but i’m not sure about the chopped head)
Joseph (for tweeting & being an avid blogger )
Liza (who asked people to vote at UCLA, making those connections!)
Randall (who helped us raise more votes in the last hour)
Jonathan (got people drunk enough to vote for us…..just kidding!)
Jordan (helped with his tweets + chats, he’s the Keyboard Wizard!)
Eduardo (for his helpful tweets and being a damn good designer)
Walter (rallied votes all the way from Nicaragua! that’s hardcore)
Em (for being an awesome photographer and supportive of Vokle)
I probably left some people out, so please comment so I can add you!!

Awesome!
Vokle is definitely one of the best the best ideas of this decade, I like the site so much that I took the task of going door on door explaining people what it is and why to vote for it, I successfully got around 12 votes, no too much, but I guess it helped.
Congrats to Vokle! 4th place yeah!
Looks like you’re going to San Francisco!
Greetings! Keep up the great work.
