The following services will automatically be pinged/notified when you publish normal or future timestamped posts. Not when you edit previously published posts, as WordPress does by default.
This plugin also fixes an issue with the default extended ping programming in Wordpress and pre-2.1 versions of Smart Update Pinger (it now includes the url of the new post).
These are the last 100 actions performed by the plugin. In reverse chronological order for easier reading (latest ping first).

Best Kite 2012 | Kite 2012
Yes Wihan, you´re right about that. But perhaps have you tried 2-3 different kites and can tell which one of them that you liked best? The more people that vote, the more accurate the final result will get. This is a poll where the final result is based on quantity rather than quality :)
Wasn´t sure wether Mutiny had come up with new kites for 2012 or if they still had their 2011 kites on the market. Anyway, I added Mutiny to the poll, still 9 months to go before we can pick a winner :)
… cause i vote for Zeeko … more than 50 times :D
… and my buddy vote for Switch :P
… another one would be vote for North, BWS, Ozone, …. just disable cookies and switch IP.
The cookie and IP log should prevent you from voting more than 1 time from the same computer. But yes, if you switch IP then you can vote multiple times. That´s a problem that is quite hard to get around… but why would you bother to switch IP just to be able to vote 50 times on this poll?

To be able to rate this accurately, you would have to have tried all these kites and then decide which one you liked best

Great, the S-series is from 2012 btw

GK and Griffin are two different brands. You have them as one brand. They have no relation to each other.
Posted on April 16th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
The Chimera and Argo are Griffin kites, not GK kites.
Posted on April 16th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Thanks for pointing out. I wrote GK as an abbreviation for Griffin Kites. Made it clearer now and added Globe Kites as well :)

Posted on May 13th, 2012 at 9:13 pm
wait until the end of year 2012 and you´ll probably see that Zeeko Notus is far from being a winner.
