Oh, so thats how you get the votes for a twitter application? Ask for votes on twitter? .........

Those names are apprently fake and I'd say its for a disqualification of the app, except you probably can't prove that the author himself did it. He can always say someone else did it without his knowledge, although he probably asked for it.

I think using friends and social networks can't be exactly called cheating, but its unfair and should be forbidden. The idea mentioned a while back to allow only accounts created before the voting started and with at least 10 posts should be applied somehow. If it can't be limited by the voting system, it should be at least stated in the rules and checked in suspicious cases or something. (or possibly by writing a script to check automatically? not sure whats possible...)

Just the fact that the authors of QExcersize and TweeGo and maybe others asked for votes in this manner shows how unscrupulous and selfish they are.
