The third phase of the New7Wonders of Nature is now underway, have you voted for any? Anyone can vote as many times as they want, only requires new mail address.
Sounds great, but this voting system can be unfair, a country of nominated nature site would surely want to win. They will go for some campaign and the more population that has access to internet, the more chance to win. It will be unfair to those who want to vote but does not have internet or doesn't even know about the voting.
I am not against this voting system (what else can I do), but I am hoping that the organizers have a reliable measure to get the best possible results.
I agree! results will not be 100% according to what really deserve to be on the top 7 wonders..
I went to their site though...and they were all magnificent..
Yes. Decosigner and Extinct Soul are right. 100% agreed.
But the problem will remain unsolved, that what else can we do.
Just hoping that the voting brings out the best possible result.

We use the internet for everything. Why not the internet? If we voted by internet, this would almost cancel out need for politicians. With internet voting, the people could vote on the laws. With internet, the country would trly be run by the people.

Yesterday I invited a friend to try the hubpages. She declined stating that most of the staff are narcissistic head hunters who have a degree in English, play head games with the users they don't like, are unfair in carrying out their hub rules and often help the evil doers on the site if it means...

I'm curious as to why the United States hasn't implemented a system where each citizen can vote on national issues using the internet? For example, if you didn't support the new health care system you could go onto a government controlled website, sign in with your ssn and vote...

I just returned from Chicago's gay pride week, where I marched along with my friends from Campit Resort from Saugatuck, Michigan. We were float #173 of 250 floats. Gay protesters slashed the tires of 50 floats, thinking that it would stop the parade, but all it did was delay it. The media reported...

This was a conversation that started when talking about expanded Medicaid, but a CNN article prompted me to bring it up here. New Jersey is enforcing a ban on the high-end electric car manufacturer Tesla, in the case, from "direct sales" to New Jersey customers. Instead, they...
