Cast Your Vote on OurVoYce - New Online Voting Site


Recently, SoConvo got the opportunity to speak to Jon Daggerhart, the owner of the new voting website called ourvoYce. The platform is very different from other voting sites in that they keep it simple: Thumbs Up, Neutral, or Thumbs Down are the only 3 choices you have. You can also see how your vote counted on a data map of the United States that they show on their website. So for example, you may find out that people in New York love Starbucks, but people in Michigan are neutral when it comes to that specific brand. After you vote, you can also click on the stat bar and an option will appear that allows you to send out what you just voted on to Twitter and Facebook.

Plenty of Categories are listed by Tags including Major League Baseball, American Idol, Magazines and much more. Listen to the podcast "What is ourvoYce" below and visit ourvoYce.com.
