Okay, let&#8217;s be honest now &#8211; we don&#8217;t really know how much of that adjective-laden sentence actually applies to us but we do know that you, as a user, are always our best judge.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->So dear user, if you love FusionCharts and want to publicly display it, here&#8217;s how &#8211; vote for us in the Web Development category at <a href=\"https:\/\/developersummit.com\/awards.html#category8\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Vote for FusionCharts\">https:\/\/developersummit.com\/awards.html#category8<\/a> . It&#8217;s a 2-click and 20-100 keystroke process depending on whether your name is &#8220;ffdd&#8221; or something that takes more than 2 left-hand fingers to type. The voting process concludes on April 3, 2009 after which the votes will be consolidated and in conjunction with the jury&#8217;s opinions, the winners will be announced at the Summit on 25th May, 2009.\r\n\r\nWe will be really thankful to you if you vote for us and promise to post a wonderful &#8220;Thank You&#8221; post on the night of the summit itself if we go on to win it. Seriously speaking, we have always been a user-centric company and there can be nothing more heartwarming than our users proclaiming us a winner. It will propel us to push the boundaries of the web even when the coffee machine is down at 2 in the morning!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FusionCharts has been nominated in the Web Development category of the Great Indian Developer Summit (GIDS) 2009 awards.
