Twitter has announced this morning that they will be launching the ability for users to create and tweet polls. The ability isn’t out just yet, but the birdie company says it will be live in the “coming day”. Previously users who wanted to do a poll through the short message social media outlet they need to track replies, tally hashtags, count retweets or favorite a tweet. None of which made polling friends, family or end users very easy. When the update goes live users will be able to create a two-answer poll right from the tweet box.
Polls are always a good way to get engage people when your poll is engaging to begin with. When Google launched polls to G+ many had hoped it would be amazing and give users a better way to gauge thoughts on ideas and more. Of course, like all things, many spend their polling time creating useless polls and posting them in controversial sections. For instance, posting “Is the iPhone 6s Plus better than the Nexus 6p” inside the Nexus 6p community. Some people just like the drama I suppose.
When the ability to create polls goes live you will see an icon that looks like a pie chart. Fill in the two choice answers you want users to pick and tweet away. On the receiving end, be prepared to see polls landing in your feeds about everything under sun. It is always your choice to vote or not.
