LEESBURG, Va., Nov. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With the November 6 General Election just around the corner, the launch of Electorate.Me ensures that voters will be able to shape the conversations about issues in their communities even after the polls close on Tuesday. Electorate.Me is the new online platform which allows voters to start, participate, and shape the conversations about issues in their communities. Unlike conventional social networks, Electorate.Me is organized around the communities that voters actually live and vote in – not just around the people they already know. At Electorate.Me, voters set the agenda.

With the launch of Electorate.Me, users can discuss the issues in their communities, share the conversations via other social networks, and invite neighbors to upcoming events. The site harnesses the power of the social Internet to enable voters to be involved any time of the day or night – locally, regionally, and nationally. Electorate.Me fully returns control of the conversations from the elected and the media back to the electorate.

Electorate.Me does not screen content or restrict the electorate from speaking up on the issues. Unlike a letter to the editor of a newspaper, ideas are not thrown in the trash at the end of the day. Unlike a personal blog, neighbors, candidates, and elected representatives come to the site to participate in the conversations. Even the traditional media visit Electorate.Me to find posts to highlight to regional and national audiences.

On Electorate.Me, the activity feed is customizable and filters posts and events based on the community selections of the users. Issues filters allow users to focus on just the issues that matter to them. A simple click on the star next to the community or issue will toggle on and off the filters. Users can also sort posts and events by most recent, most viewed, and most commented.

Electorate.Me is fully integrated with Facebook, and will soon integrate with other popular social networking sites like Google+ and Twitter. Future enhancements will provide increased user verification methods, robust polling features, effective petition features, Q&A with candidates, live chat, and much more.

When the polls close Tuesday evening, both longtime and newly elected representatives will go to work for their constituents. Electorate.Me provides the electorate with a tool to effectively discuss the issues with those they have elected and, ultimately, shape the outcome of the next elections.

ProfNet Connect

ProfNet Connect is a free, interactive online community where PR professionals, experts, and media professionals can network and engage with one another. Via profiles, forums and blogs, subject-matter experts can position themselves as the go-to source for content creators and journalists.

News Widget

Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
