Not again!!! Cant believe that they[cnn/Time] are still using the same old buggy lame system they implemented for finding the "Influential People list" [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27475 ] It was an easily hackable one and it still is. Weebly is #1 on the list now, and once again [honestly, i am embarrassed to say this ], i am responsible :(

For the "influential people list", what pg said became true ["Even if it wasn't hackable, it would still produce garbage results" ]. The final list had nothing to do with the "democratically" voted list(hacked list).

The developers who worked on this particular voting system should be ashamed of themselves. They should have implemented atleast a basic IP check.

I'd also like to point out that we had nothing to do with this...

My comment is NOT about Weebly. Its about the faultiness of voting system Time has implemented.

BTW, congrats to the guys at Weebly for getting in the list.
