I hate the fact that podcastawards.com *requires* us to enter our email.
They could’ve just have us enter a code from a picture-gram instead. It would achieve the same purpose of proof-of-human.
In fact, the email method doesn’t even ensure proof-of-human anyway. It’s not hard to setup an email-server, then write a script that monitor your own email server to auto-reply any email directed to it. This will effectively spam their voting.
In the end, they just want to collect our emails, most likely for the purpose of selling us out to email-spammers. If you do vote, expect to see a few more spam-emails in your spam folder.

Mina-san, if you have the time, we’d really appreciate a vote

Congratulations and good luck!
Voted

Well, the issue with that that it doesn’t have any way to stop people from voting more than once a day. Of course, people could use multiple emails addresses, but at least they can only use them once a day.
July 29th, 2006 at 1:53 pm
Jason-san,
Yea you’re right. I guess email is the simplest way to work. But I still don’t like the idea of submitting my email address.
Despite that, I did cast my vote of the day!
But I better not find spam-mails from them. grrr…
July 29th, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Congratulations! You all definitely deserve this!
July 29th, 2006 at 4:05 pm

Anyway, yeah!!!
Vote Vote Vote Kudasai!

I understand how you feel. I dont know of any other way they could do it though.
July 29th, 2006 at 8:53 pm
Congratulations and the best of luck

Justanothergirl - create and use an alternate e-mail address if possible.
I always have a separate e-mail address for things like this where I suspect even the slightest possibility of getting spammed as a result.

This sounds like so much ballot stuffing but it’s not one vote per day per person; it seems to be one vote per day per email account. I found out purely by accident, honest.
August 4th, 2006 at 2:48 pm
I love very much Japanesepod101.com..
Thanks to Peter, Sakura and Natsuko..
YOu are doing a great job..keep it up.
August 6th, 2006 at 6:17 am
I did just vote, and that vote was the smallest thing in the world i could do for you guys, there really isn´t anyway to make it up for all you have teached us trough this site.
You really deserved it
Just one question, is it possible to vote once every day until the 11 Aug? with the same e-mail adress.
Just wondering ^_^

August 9th, 2006 at 1:36 am
I’ve tried several times and have been unable to vote. When I tried from home, the “e-mail confirmation” (aol) bounced. When I tried from work, my company has blocked the site. Sorry.

While I’m sad that JP101 didn’t win the education category
, I’d like to congratulate them on being one of the winners in the banner promotion, which means they’ll receive free advertising from the Podcast Awards web site for the next year.
