As discussion heat up across the country revolving the right of gays and lesbians, some businesses are staking out their profit share through new technology.
Gay-centric entertainment site publisher MoxieQ, which formats its content for mobile phones and personal computers, recently launched an application that allows users to voice their opinion on local legislation that impacts LGBT people.
The “Give ‘Em Hell” application uses a click-to-call method to contact lawmakers through a cell phone on http://m.moxieq.com/site/act/.
Some activists, such as Inclusive ENDA, also are using social networking sites as an outlet for users to become more involved. Inclusive ENDA has established a spreadsheet, http://www.facebook.com/l/;http://bit.ly/lmPFk, which provides information about representatives. The group also established http://www.facebook.com/l/;http:votesmart.org to help voters find who their representatives are.
I guess, the phone book, like newspapers are a thing of the past.
