An innovative method for rallying support

The homepage of www.WebLobbying.com proclaims it as ‘The online voice of the people of the US’ and this I think is a very strong statement to make. It is this statement that got me curious about this website. Now days, you will find that there is no dearth of sites where you can voice your feelings. From general blogging websites to specific issue based websites, you can express yourself everywhere. This seemed to be another such website until I started reading some of the lobbies that were put up. The more I read, the more interested I became. Firstly, I must congratulate the people behind this website for the range of topics it covers, from science to politics, history to law; there is something in it to interest people from all backgrounds. Some of the lobbies seemed very important and I immediately found myself ‘taking action’ as they aptly worded it in the website. It was then that I realized there are so many things and issues we are ignorant about. It felt nice to know that apart from just reading up on various issues that need immediate attention; you can also participate in your own way in taking action. Each time you click the ‘take action’ button, an email is sent to the people who have the key to resolving that issue. This I felt was one instance where technology is being put to proper use.

Apart from the fact that I could take action, I also found this website very user friendly where in you can first acquaint yourself with the website through a simple demo video. This is very useful for first time users who don’t have a clue as to what they are looking for and don’t know how to go about understanding the website. The website is also clean without too much clutter and hence the main parts – the various lobbies, in this case- get the attention they deserve.
