New website for opinion tracking

I am inviting everyone to visit my new web site MyQwip. It is a tool I developed that can track opinion over time and by region. To do this it uses a fairly high-powered MySQL data base that tallies votes by hour, day, week, month, and year, and also by location.

To get an idea of how it works, visit the Qwip page for Obama. Only a couple of people here already voted, but you can see how the tallies work. Anonymous voters aren't tracked by location yet but I'm working on that. Registered voters can pick whatever location they like.

You can put up your own Qwips. I would like to see what others come up with.

This is not a commercial venture -- just a hobby site for now. Feedback invited.

....right now for work. We are only a 30 person company so I can't make some IT guy do it. Not the glamorous thing I had hoped to do (along with a whole lot of other stuff), but the upside is good if all goes to plan. Now if I worked for Cloudera as some Big Data guru, that would be cool!
