(If anyone did go to the voting page them subsequently not vote, I’d be very interested to know the reasons why- let me know.)

Well, I didn't vote because I don't have an iPhone, so I can't test your app.

You said, "which of you are nice and voted for my app." But would I really be nice? In a competition like this, each vote counts in detriment of all the other apps/developers; voting you up can be essentially seen as voting everyone else down. And when my only criteria is that you happened to post on HN and they didn't, I don't think it's fair to vote your app up.




I wasn't being entirely serious about people being "nice" (vs. nasty, I suppose) but you still have a fair point.

I would definitely encourage you to go to the main submissions page (http://2011.nycbigapps.com/submissions/), look through and dispense votes as you desire.

The competition right now is dominated by who gets the most retweets- I thought blogging was a slightly more constructive solution, but if independent voters are looking and voting based on independent merit, then that's music to my ears.
