I, along with Ollie Parsley create the H1 Debate: http://www.h1debate.com.
To cast your vote, simply include your message with the hashtag #h1logo or #h1title. Your tweet will automatically go into it’s respective column, and your first vote will be counted. Subsequent tweets will not count.
To follow news, stories and other information regarding H1 markup, follow @h1debate.

Check out GeoChirp – http://www.GeoChirp.com – a neat Twitter and Google maps mashups – which shows tweets within 50 miles of any location in the world.
Features like ‘RSS Feeds’ for search results, real time results and ‘tweet language translation’ are fairly useful.

Another addition: http://www.peepnote.com
Take general notes and keep track of why you followed or unfollowed someone. Also tag & organize your Twitter peeps.
The app was a top 10 finalist in the 2009 Rails Rumble 48 hour app competition.

@BenRama
I apologise if it came out spammy. I wrote a nice post explaining the concept on my iPhone, but it did not appear to submit, so I instead of retyping the whole comment again, I used some copy from the site instead. Sorry if it sounded spammy.
In web design there is such a thing called semantics (reflecting intended structure and meaning) and when marking up a website you have various options of header tag. H1 to H6.
There has always been a debate as to the correct ‘semantic’ use of the headings, and this site allows you to send a tweet with a hashtag, and count it as a vote – so it is essentially a twitter voting site, aimed at a particular topic.
If you would like more info, I wrote my personal opinion on the subject over on my blog: http://prandall.com/2009/02/06/the-h1-debate/
