Important note for all recallists on "order your MP via sms ---- why is it must must MUST must to have url = internet link in sms? Why is sms without url is waste of time?
.
Say you are MP. Say you dont want to read SMS of voters. Then it is the end, Whether SMS have url or not, makes no difference.
.
But say you are MP, and you do want to read demands of citizens on what law-draft they want. Now lets say voters start sending the orders on law-draft they want via SMS. There are 17 lakh voters. Now if only 2 lakh voters send 1-5 SMS , then campaign is a flop. But say lakhs of voters start sending 10-50 orders on the law-drafts they want. On an average , say there are 20 SMS. So MP will get 17 lakh * 20 SMS average per voter = 3.4 crore SMS. Lets say one needs 10 seconds to read an SMS. So that would be 34 crore seconds . How many days is that? Please do the maths.
.
34 crore seconds = 34,00,00,000 / 60 minutes = 56,66,666 minutes
.
56,66,666 minutes = 56,66,666 / 60 hours = 94,444 hours.
.
94,444 hours = 94,444 / 24 days = 3935 days
.
3945 days = 3945 / 385 years = 11 years !!
.
And thats assuming that MP will spend 365 days and 24 hours in reading SMS. Taking average of 8 hours a day, it would be 33 years !! And if one takes holidays, then it becomes 45 years years. Now he can hire a staff of 45 and get work done in 1 year !! But then managing staff, staff can misinterprete SMS etc problems come up,
.
And lets see if each SMS has url. Now lakhs of citizens may have common demand on law-draft they want. So they can send send same or 3-10 urls. So lets say voters have 50 demands, present in 500 different url, and each voter sends url via SMS.
.
Now the SMS can be entered in PC and PC will give count for each URL to MP, and the URL as well. eg lets say MP recieved 35 crore SMS with url. Then PC will give report as
.
url = tinyurl com/PrintTCP , count = 2.80 lakhs
url = tinyurl com/DDMRCAM , count = 2.40 lakhs
url = tinyurl com/RtrPm , count = 2.25 lakhs
url = tinyurl com/RtrDeo , count = 2.10 lakhs
...
...
list of 100s of URL
.
Each url would point to a law-draft of 2-5 pages
.
Now MP cant read all 100s of drafts pointed by 100s of URL. But he can surely read 50-100 drafts pointed by 50-100 URLs.
.
So 17 lakh voters sending 3.4 crore orders to MPs via SMS isnt noise if and only if SMS have url. But if SMS dont have url and have plain text, then 3.4 crore SMS are plain noise.
.
FAQ --- what if voters send multiple url?
,.
Say some 12 lakh voters want NTPHG = "narcotest in public on gohatya" law-draft.. Say there are 10 urls with NTPHG draft. Say urls are url1 to url10.. Now each voter who has sent url1 to url0 can check which url has highest count and resend that url. So say counts are as follows
.
utl = .tinyurl .com/NarcoGoHatya , count = 2.08 lakhs
utl = .tinyurl .com/NarcoPublicGoHatya , count = 1.20 lakhs
utl = .tinyurl .com/NtestGoHatya, count = 1.30 lakhs
utl = .tinyurl .com/Narco4GoRaksha , count = 1.25 lakhs
utl = .tinyurl .com/NarcoGoRaksha , count = 0.68 lakhs
utl = .tinyurl .com/GoRakshaByNarcoTest, count = 0.45 lakhs
utl = .tinyurl .com/GoRakshaByNTP , count = 0.23 lakhs
..
.....
.
One vote may have sent more one URL , which is ok and expected.
.
Now MP's website will not give any information if the drafts are same or similar. But activists can download the drafts, and put similar url in one group. And the activists will need to inform voters about similar URLs. So now each voter who has sent url from 1 to 8, can be requested to one SMS with any url1 to yrl8. Eventually, the most preferred url will get counts of all, without reducing count of any other url.
.
So the problem of SMS getting divided along multiple URLs will get resolved as activists and voters realize that one voter can indeed send more than one SMS , and each SMS can have different url for same or similar law-draft.
