The 2008 Presidential Election may still be weeks away, but for the past year, over 100,000 SodaHeads have cast their votes for the candidate they want to see in the White House.

Those same SodaHeads have also voted on an array of other topics like gay marriage, the Bible, opinions on Bush and whether 911 was a conspiracy, to music, movies and everything in between. We here at SodaHead HQ have tallied those votes and matched them with the McCain vs. Obama poll to give you a complete digest of just who is voting for McCain and who is voting for Obama.

Check out the results to find out just who is voting for McCain and who is voting for Obama, and most importantly... what's bubbling in their heads??

Stay tuned to this blog for updates and be sure to comment to let us know what you want to see throughout the final stretch of the 2008 campaign. And if you haven't voted on McCain vs Obama yet, VOTE HERE: http://www.sodahead.com/question/41731/ (more)

New Features, Maintenance

We've heard how much you love the new Find People Like Me and Like Minded: Are you really True Friends? features.

And the evidence is obvious that SodaHeads have adapted to using the "Add Image" and "Add Video" convenience tools to comments, messages and blogs.

The increased traffic result of new users and new features means we have to do a bit of house keeping.

The maintenance (temporary downtime of the site) will start at 12 midnight Pacific Time and last for 30-45 minutes. Please check back at 1am PST Sunday morning.

We try doing maintenance at off-peak times because we don't want to interrupt the "goings on", but this will make SodaHead faster and more reliable.

Thanks for your patience! (more)

Because of our growth, SodaHead.com needs to move servers into a bigger building with more power and bandwidth.

So we leave the comfort of our first data center and say hello to a new one that looks amazing. This means that the site will need to shut down temporarily as we run between the two facilities carrying the servers with really long cables and wires. Well, not really, we bought more servers and it is really complicated so just sit back and write your good thoughts down on paper and save them up for when the site comes back online.

The maintenance will start at 11 pm Pacific Time.

Thanks for your patience! (more)

Hey SodaHeads,

Seasons greetings! It's hard to believe it's already the end of 2007 and we still don't have hovercrafts or a bullet train to Vegas. Still, there's lots to celebrate and reflect on before we toast to '08. Check out some of the cool "Best of '07" polls and throw in your two cents.

Don't see any "Best of" polls you care to rant about? Create your own polls about topics you care about and send them around to your family, friends and co-workers to reminisce about some of the best moments and developments of the year. It'll help you forget you still can't teleport to work in the morning.

And of course, we have a snazzy new feature for you to play with on the site while you're home enjoying your holiday break! We've added a "search for images" button so you can dress up your polls without flipping back and forth through search engines to find URLs. Based on the question or answer text you typed, we'll give you some relevant image options to attach. Now you have no excuse to leave your polls naked and photo-less! Get creative and have fun!

Also, check out the winner of the pimped profile contest - leave the winner a comment, maybe ask for some help customizing your profile. Look forward to more contests, swag and prizes.

SodaHead really broke out this year thanks to some great new content partners, a sleek new design, and most of all our fantastic and outspoken SodaHeads! Have a safe and happy New Year!

Thank You,
- Team SodaHead (more)
