Back in June of this year, Nintendo closed down a few of the channels on the Wii which relied on someone sitting in head office maintaining some sort of online service. These included the news and weather channels; while there are far more effective ways of looking up the news and the weather, Nintendo's approach of giving you a globe to grab and spin was more fun than most.
One of the services closed down was the Everybody Votes Channel. When this first launched I visited it a lot - checking the results every couple of days, suggesting my own questions. I was pretty good at predicting which option would be more popular. I'd not used the channel for a couple of years, but when I heard it was closing I went back to look at it. It seemed to still be quite well populated - there were at least enough people to form meaningful results, at least.
There are few good quality screenshots of the channel on the Internet. I captured quite a few in June, which are included here. If you want to use any of these on your websites, feel free - please just include a link to this post.
