It's election time in India, and the orkut team wants to make sure that your voice is heard this year. That's why we've launched an ‘official’ community: “The Voice of Youth (www.orkut.co.in/loksabha2009).” By visiting the Voice of Youth community you can express your opinion and find out how other people from all over the country feel about the upcoming elections, the issues and India's leaders.
Outfitted with a special theme, the Voice of Youth community lets you participate in a poll that features a series of fun and thought-provoking questions about everything from voting and politicians to locally relevant issues. What's more, as soon as you answer a question, you'll be able to see the poll results in real time. We didn't want to leave anyone out of this experience, so even non-orkut users are free to visit the community.
Ready to participate? Just head to http://www.orkut.co.in/loksabha2009 and start answering the poll questions. Here are a few of our personal favorites:
1. What's the most important issue facing the country?
2. Can a celebrity influence your vote?
3. Who is the most good-looking politician?
As people vote in the poll, we'll be highlighting some of the most interesting results on the community's homepage. If you think we've missed a poll question on a topic you care about, feel free to suggest it right within the community.
Finally, what would an orkut election themed community be without a space for local flavor? To help make the Voice of the Youth community relevant to your local concerns, we've created chat rooms dedicated to each of the states in India.
We hope you take advantage of this new opportunity to be heard in this year's election. Don't delay though, as voting on all the polls will close on April 14th!
