Now instead of cribbing about bad roads, improper sanitation or power shortage in your area, you can question your leaders on live chat round the clock.
Thirty four-year old Vikram Nalagampalli (pictured), a Bangalorean and Columbia University alumnus, returned to the country to set up a social networking website, Voterite, which connects voters to their political leaders as well as contesting candidates online.
This is probably the best chance where close to 12 crore young people will be eligible to vote for the first time in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Nalagampalli told dna. The primary function of the website is to engage and influence the youth to pick the right leaders, he added.
In the first-of-its-kind attempt, the website gives voters a chance to not only post their complaints and suggestions but also campaign for their favorite party.
The beauty of Voterite is to see how many of these voters can be converted into campaigners. If they start becoming campaigners, convey the message, the influence is proven again and again, said Nalagampalli. We have asked the political leaders to give us a three-minute video as to why youth should vote for them, he added.
The site has close to 40,000 profiles right now of people who have either contested elections in the past or are contesting now. Though Nalagampalli did not give the exact number of candidates who have sent their videos, he said the Aam Admi Party has been very active around the concept. AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal is among the leaders who have sent them their videos.
The website will be engaging people in a two way communication. This is something that has been missing in the Indian politics. Its always been the candidate propagating his message where there is no platform for the voter to interact with this person.
Acording to the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), Mumbai with 12 million internet users is the top most city in terms of internet penetration, followed by Delhi with 8.1 million users and Hyderabad with 4.7 million users. Chennai with 4.5 million internet users and Kolkata with 4.4 million internet users are fourth and fifth respectively.
Another report of Google says social media can have an impact on around 30% seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
IAMAI also says that social media is likely to influence 160 of 543 parliamentary constituencies. It claims that four out of every 10 urban voters in India are online.

Social media trends with teens
Toms River, New Jersey (PRWEB) November 12, 2013
There is a new way to get around town. An unconventional and growing trend in transportation: social networking for ridesharing. GoVeho.com, the first social networking site for carpooling, is launching a global fundraising effort to aid their mission to provide commuters an easy, on-demand carpooling option that can reduce deadly carbon emissions by an estimated six tons per average rider, per year.
GoVehos unique social networking platform allows users to connect to and arrange rides with other would-be carpoolers. GoVeho.com users are often students or young professionals who are otherwise at the mercy of public transportation. These commuters find that carpooling saves them time, money and affords them additional flexibility through a virtual network that also strengthens in-person ties within their community.
At a time when an environmentally conscious public is crying out for viable carbon reducing solutions, the sustainable business model of GoVeho makes it an easy and attractive option for eco-friendly donors. GoVeho will be accepting contributions to further its green efforts through indiegogo.com, an industry leading crowd-funding platform. GoVeho is the brainchild of co-founders Timothy J. Petrin, Esq. and Ajay Gaglani, both Rutgers University graduates. Petrin and Gaglani are involved in numerous successful business ventures, but recently felt compelled to pursue more community and environmentally minded entrepreneurship with their newest project, GoVeho.com.
The rewards of carpooling are clear, both for the person and for the planet. The social benefits of the carpool setting have been shown to reduce stress, and the $1.1 billion annual national savings only enhances the riders mood. (Commuter Solutions, Green Living: 9.12.2012) Environmental issue author, Mrunal Belvalkar surmised that "if every passenger car in the US carried just one additional commuter for a single day, the US could save over 30 million gallons of gasoline in a single day[.] In a week, the US could save more than 210 million gallons of fuel."
According to recent studies, the average American spends over 430 hours driving every year, which equals about 18 days. In a single year, a passenger car emits around 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 600 pounds of carbon monoxide and consumes around 550 gallons of gasoline. (buzzle.com) Adam Stein of Terrapass, a social enterprise that provides carbon offsetting products, estimates that burning one gallon of gas creates 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, and the average car emits about six tons of carbon dioxide every year. GoVeho.com helps riders to alter their role in the carbon cycle.
Currently GoVehos ride sharing network is available at http://www.GoVeho.com and the free app is due on the iPhone and android market this winter.
