Revised concept for worldvoteusa.tomrevill.net
After the last 2 assignments my website has taken on a new role so I will update the concept to better reflect the website.
As the American elections are looming on the horizon the question about who will be the next President of the United States arises. Should we as citizens of the world just accept the selection of the American people or is this a global issue. The idea behind this proposal is to gather opinions and ultimately conduct a world vote for the next President of the United States of America. This is based on the idea that the selection of this person has such a huge effect on so many other countries and world situations for example: As a citizen of the world would you have voted George Bush in for a second term as US President?
The way I will implement this is using RSS feeds, Web Video, Polls and Images. Ultimately I would like this to have a documentary look and feel so that people are presented with the idea of choice and can see the facts plainly by the community and not by the author of the website.
For instance someone may come onto the Web Site and look up some RSS feeds. The person might make a decision based on the feeds (and of course any prior knowledge) and respond by using the polls as more traditional method or express a comment via a video blogs. People will also be invited to submit to other web sites.
With the documentary look in mind it should also have a serious tone and should be conservative to let the community shown be the websites life force
The website must have a strong community and talk on both on the issues and candidates. The role of the website defiantly needs to be focused on get many people options not just in creating static articles.The website should be defiantly be community driven.
Through this web site the people should be better-informed about the elections , the candidates and the issues so that America and the world could become better understanding about the state of the world and America place in it.
