Meet the community: OnlineBusinessWoman

Community member Roxanne Weber - Someone you should know!

Roxanne Weber, OnlineBusinessWoman, is an allvoices member you should fan. Her news is always valid, timely, and well worth reading. She not only posts her own take on the news, she also has been actively commenting on other news items around the site. I asked Roxanne to answer a few short questions so that you could get to know her better.

Who is OnlineBusinessWoman?

I’m an enigmatic voice for the millions of middle-aged women of the world who have always wanted to publicly complain about politics and world events, but were to shy to try .

(Let me add that OnlineBusinessWoman also is the third highest person in the incentive at time of this writing. She is very close to getting her first check!)

 

Where do you report news from?

I’m located in the lonely state of South Dakota (we are bigger than Alaska, though)

 

What news matters to you?

Politics gets me riled, but I love to learn about new developments in technology, and what we’re doing right in the world.

 

What news would you like to see reported on the site?

I would love to see a section dedicated to “strange news” or “news for the happy”, or wannabe happy

 

What tips would you be willing to share with other allvoices community members?

Ah sometimes I get carried away and submit way too much stuff in one day and I hear about how they got an inbox full of “onlinebusinesswoman” stuff and wondered what I did all day. I’m trying to work on a 2-3 a day limit! (maybe I should start an allvoices.com anonymous group?)

(If you do, warn me first – your news matters to me!)

 

What else would you like to tell the world?

Today we all have the opportunity, young or old, big or small, important or insignificant, to share our thoughts, ideas, opinions with the world. We have an obligation to be part of the conversation so that the world does not end up in the hands of complete raving psychopaths who throw our money into the sewer and then ask us for more money to fix the problem. But that’s just my unbiased opinion, of course.

 

Roxanne also let me in on a new venture she starts this week: She is writing her first political column for SquareRootz. She is hoping to use this New York based site to reach today’s youth and get them to understand how and why they should be involved in todar’s political events and activities.

 

Roxanne’s news makes me think. It makes me wonder. It makes me dig deep into what I believe. AND that is just the political stuff. She and I share a desire to help others see that they can make a difference in the world.

 

She and I also share a frustration about getting page views for well reported news. Many times, we have discussed the frustration that happens at seeing controversial news get lots of hits, but better written pieces getting ignored. If you share this frustration, get out there and join us in reporting what is important to you!

 

Thanks Roxanne for providing your voice and your opinions! We appreciate you!
