Seems like not enough people use it. Well, since this is a tactic that works best if the bad actor never finds out about it, isn't it possible lots of people do it without ever talking about it? Relevant Coding Horror http://www.

Can confirm that the thermometers on Obama fundraising pages (MyBo and others) are real (not simulated and not manipulable). It's a feature of the donation software they use. (My employer develops it.)

Since you're here... I got an email in November saying "Because you got in early, you can probably expect to get your invite by Spring of 2012." Can I still expect that? Bank of America is killing me, and there's only so long I can wait.
