vote online. the new democracy!

Thing about the proliferation of myStuff (personal digital information uploads) is there’s so much content out there to consume, the only way to know what’s worth your bandwidth before it’s chewed is through mass opinion polls popping up all over the internet. The digital highway offers individuals a chance to vote honestly, subconsciously and freely. It might even be more effective than democracy. www.hotornot.com is a good example of the aggregating power of collective opinion. (But it’s also very telling of how ageist we are)


I bet digital opinion polls are going to be marketting’s next darling.
