I'd like to add a bit about voting. I don't think enough people are bothering to vote, cause I've rarely seen the meter go north of 9 and you predicted the magic number would be 15. It's a dandy, VideoSift-ey widget that is quite overlooked by many, IMO. And that alien is so darn cute!
A few years ago, someone called that number in all N America area codes and documented the results. One of my favs:
519: "[Girl's voice] Hello, you reached Jenny at 867-5309. I'd love to talk to you, leave me a message, but there has been a change in me. [Guy's voice] I'm not Jenny, not Jenny so if you still wanna leave me a message, leave it at the end of the beep. Bye!"
