Our vote got us on top Yipeeeee!!!!!!!

By wendy - December 01, 2011

It took long hours and lots of determination, but we reached the top of the list finally Table mountain was nominated as one of the Seven Wonders of Nature on the 11/11/2011. Since May,18, 2011 we the Rlabs crew worked hard to get as many votes as we could to get The mountain in the top seventh position.

It wasn’t easy but worth it after learning that we need millions of votes and that the mountain was at the bottom of the 28 finalists. The crew went out on a daily basis to get as many votes possible , our target was schools, campuses,malls and were we ever we could get a opening to let people vote. At the same time we had to give back to the community for allowing us to have them vote for table mountain.

So the people could at least leave with an email account and we could inform then how to use the internet mail facililty

Most of the people ware very eager to vote. Some days went better than other days. At times we had some internet connection issues and gmail would only allow us so sign a certain amount of people up for the day. We had to open more than one point to sign people up with emails like yahoo and webmail too.I must say hard work certainly pays off at the end of the day. One of the platforms people were also allowed to vote on was MXIT, it made our load a bit easier.

Thanks to all those schools and campuses and people at the malls who have offered their time to send their votes, we made it yipeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
