how many times have you voted?

Just the once - I have too much crap stored to clear my cookies. I did that years ago to help a friend win something not realizing it was going to get rid of EVERYTHING. Lesson learned ;) But apparently there are folks beating P-----r at their own game. In reality, with the wrong info in the article, I'm surprised anyone at P-----r or anyone who follows their logic would vote it a good article.  ???

I doubt anyone here gives a shit about you.  We pretty much all know that you are a vile and unethical parasite of a human being with an abnormal craving for attention."

Too much trouble and I really want to watch P------r work on building it back up tomorrow, TBH. But I might use that info if anyone's pug is in the running for any kind of contest, lol!!

The article is one of twelve "World's Most Innovative Company" profiles from Fast Company magazine, all posted to Fox Business on the same day.  Timberland has the second largest number of votes at 19.  The rest are in the single digits, and a couple have zero votes.

It seems obvious that something weird is going on.  

As others have pointed out, this is not a contest, and the voters are rating the article, not the company.  I suppose that a high number of votes or a high rating might result in more views for the article (which would help Prosper), but the effects of voting on Fox Business weren't immediately obvious to me.  In a search for "world's most innovative," the Chinese search engine Baidu (6 votes, 4 stars) comes in first, GE (no votes yet) second, with Prosper third.

I think the only effect it will have is an impression on the reader.

Only 27 people have clicked the "Recommend" button.  (Why FoxBusiness needs a rating and a recommend button, I dunno.)
