[ETA: 11/13] Rain included in the Yahoo! Asia Buzz Awards for 2010.
[*ETA 11/13: From cloud Cuckoo: Just vote every 10-15 or 20 minutes, but you need to log out after each vote. So, you can vote many times each day. — ^@@^]
[*ETA 11/11: The site let me vote again today without popping up a warning box or anything… so that’s my cue to VOTE ONCE A DAY, at least, until December 17! ^@@^]

[*ETA 11/10: Oh my goodness, everyone — this is so quick and EASY, you can do it with your eyes closed practically. And you can only vote once (not sure if that’s once a day, or only once, I’ll find that out tomorrow), so it’s not about sitting and making your fingers bleed. If you’re a Yahoo! user, I implore you, go on over and support JiHoon. Even signing in to my Yahoo! account was oh so simple (it’s the same exact sign-in you’re already used to!).
Running my mouse all over Rain’s voting page and watching the dozens of different images of him pop up was pretty cool too. And when you click on them, a thumbnail and a description display in full color (ah, you know you’re a Cloud when… hahaha). What a NICE set-up. It’s got to be one of the coolest I’ve ever seen.
Give it a spin. Thanks, all. — ^@@^]
And if you’re a Yahoo! user, you can vote Rain in as a 2010 Buzz Star, thanks to the diligence of fans Michelle Ahn and Cloudy MJ on Facebook. Their source of information (the following text) is from sixtofive1982. The instructional screen captures are courtesy of cloud Scorpiola.
Huge thanks to you all for this timely info!
There appears to be a Yahoo!Buzz site for Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong (Rain is on the Hong Kong and Korea voting pages). The Yahoo!Buzz Korea homepage, which showcases a trailer from the 2009 Awards, is HERE.
To start your voting process with the following instructions, » go to the Hong Kong page HERE (click on Rain). OR you can go to » the Korea page HERE (there are three Top 30 option buttons in a dark box, click on the first one, and then click on 비). You must be signed in to your Yahoo! account before you vote.
Aja, Rain!

(Easy voting instructions are behind the jump. Just click and go. And thanks for supporting Rain! 😀 )

Can you still vote? I try to go to the page but nothing happens. This says Dec 17th but when I click his name on the Asian page I just get sent to some page with his pic, and the Korean page won’t let me click anything.

Usako,
I don’t know. The whole thing is very confusing to me. Sigh.

Just some observations…
FYI, Rain is on the Korea page, and on the Hong Kong page (not the other two, that I can see, which is completely understandable). He’s in roughly the same spot on each one right now (17th) with 143 votes and 1755 votes respectively. (143 votes?? Huh?? as if 1755 isn’t bad enough, okay, WOW, moving on)
Anyway, I’m not understanding how Rain could have 1880 votes last night when I went to bed, and 17-something now, this afternoon, as if he LOST a hundred votes. What the heck is going on?
I’m so glad we don’t have a lot of this kind of weird award voting here in the U.S. The few we do have is more than enough. I mean this is enough to drive you to drink.

Stopping by as I’m seeing my name here
LOL
kidding 😉
But all credits should go to 625. We’d just been on alert for the key word “VOTE RAIN” 😀
few days back scopiolabi stated that voting could be done every 10 mins. Glenda too confirmed it. But how you detect it?
>,< It doesn't say thank you for voting :p
As Rainstar had mentioned I too think the appearance of BLACK BOX- Log in Text box is the only way to confirm it.
*sigh*
Good luck
Aja aja Voting ^^~

Just vote every 10-15 minutes, but need to logout after each vote. So, you can vote many times each day.

The yellow button seems to just do a search for Rain instead of voting. I think we need more help with the instructions

sometimes it seems to take me to search results, but just now when I tried again I got an error message that I guess means my vote was counted – No clue what’s going on – I guess just keep trying and hope we are doing some good for Bi!

don’t know what the rules are, just voted. does it mean he’s no. 16 right now?
LikeLike
I believe so. The number should be the current ranking according to the voting.
Which makes no sense to me, with there being Yahoo! Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and Indonesia vote pages, are all the Asian clouds voting or not? Doesn’t look like it, and it’s really upsetting me. I don’t expect Rain to win everything, not at all. But I do expect him to at least place well. With so many fans pledging their undying devotion to him across the world, him being this far down in ANY ranking on ANY chart is sheer insanity.
Why aren’t people voting and talking about this? I swear I could chew nails right now.

I just voted (I think) and it said he was no.17! What? Is he going down on the charts?

Okay, the site just let me vote again within the same 24 hour period. I’m going to try again in another hour and see what happens.
Has anyone discovered yet exactly what the voting rules are?

Interestingly, the site won’t let me vote but once a day. So, I have no idea what is going on or what the rules are. Sigh.
But why is he so low? He’s at 16? What are the Asian Clouds doing over there????

i read somewhere that you can only vote 1 time. is that true.
i only voted once. can i vote again?

The site let me vote again a day later without anything screwy popping up. It seemed to accept my vote, though I didn’t get a confirmation either.
It’s hard to tell. But seeing as nothing popped up to warn or stop me (as usually happens overseas), I’m going to keep going and vote once a day unless someone comes up with different information.
Rain has moved a little higher, so it’s worth the chance.
