doopoll - Create live, instant, editable polls effortlessly

@nivo0o0 Thanks. Flashing GIFs are my spirit animal. Our Twitter feed is full of them Niv.

@iammarcthomas yes. brilliant response.

@nivo0o0 cheers, Niv. KNEW you'd like that one :)

@neilcocker Diolch (thanks in Welsh for anyone who's uninitiated 😅). So thanks for the questions. 1) How do we differ from SurveyMonkey and Typeform etc? Actually we get asked this a lot. So one of the main points that we differentiate on is the anonymity of a poll. We never ask anyone for a login or a name. We believe that if you take the person's name and ID away from their response, they'll give a more honest response. That leads to better feedback. Also, we don't allow text entry. Research shows that when you ask someone to articulate their thoughts, they can actually find it quite difficult. The brain has separate parts that process language and decision making. 2) Celebrating Welsh football – We're always celebrating something about Wales. There's certainly been an increased use of the Welsh language here recently. Also our office looks right out over the route that the parade bus came on the other day. We were all dangling out of fourth storey windows cheering 🎉

@nickclement Whilst as a proud Welshman, I'd love for us to take all the credit, truth is we're 33% Welsh, 33% Americans, 17% Spanish and 17% English... 100% Global. The platform's currently available in French, Welsh and English (more languages coming soon!).

@thedimmick Safe clart.

@amienlockwood Hey Amie, for sure! So a couple of things here: 1) A poll template that you can use for 'Did you understand today's lecture' but obvs that can be applied to training contexts too: https://app.doopoll.co/poll/CWTL... 2) A lot of our users use doopoll for live events. There's some info here: http://doopoll.co/sector/event/ Happy to send you some other examples if you'd like?

@amienlockwood @mike_stone can give you some examples.

@iammarcthomas Ooh that's great! Will definitely give this a go for my next session. Thanks :)

@amienlockwood @iammarcthomas Hi there Amie! Thanks for your question. Here are a few starter polls to get you going in the right direction. Just click the button at the top to have these polls recreated into your account. Here are the templates: dpll.co/paneldiscussion, dpll.co/delegatefeedback, dpll.co/posteventfeedback, dpll.co/eventexpectations

@mike_stone @iammarcthomas They look really good will definitely try you guys out during my next course.

@mjmasn Hi Michael, thanks for the kind words! Embeddable polls are something we're currently working on. Let me know if you have any opinions on how you would like to use this feature. We're also working on our public API at present which will allow you to build your own integration for in app feedback.

@leedriscoll Hey Lee, Good to hear from you. Nice to see you found the powerups page (for anyone else http://doopoll.co/powerups/). So, some of the main use cases for the team pack at the moment are collaborating to create polls in multiple languages. For example, during the Euros one of our team could write a poll in English about the quarter finalists. They could then add another team member as a collaborator and that team member could create a duplicate poll in Welsh and simply translate the questions right away, safe in the knowledge that the poll structure and layout would be the same for everyone. They could then add another collaborator who could duplicate again and translate the poll to French. And so on... Another use case is when you have multiple topics to cover in a single poll. For instance if we were to send a poll to all our users I could create the poll and pop in some questions about Enterprise usage. I then add Marc and Sam as collaborators and they can add questions on Consumer usage and the Product sides of things accordingly. Hope that helps!

@thedimmick Thanks Steve, that's cleared up everything.

@tomgallard Thanks Tom, and of course! We have a pretty big overhaul of our editor coming in the next few weeks which will make it even easier to create polls quickly and react to data. We're also going to be releasing our API into a public beta. We're really excited to see what people make with that! What would you like to see from doopoll in the next few months?

@benjystanton Nice question Benjy. Twitter polls are great for single questions when you're already a Twitter user. But still, a lot of people don't fit that profile. One of the things about doopoll is that you can add more questions to the same poll in real time – that's cool because it means you don't have to try to get a user to continually interact with your timeline. They just load a link and new questions appear as soon as they're added. Imagine being sat in front of your TV/Computer interacting with a live stream in real time. We're already working with television production companies to make this a reality.

@benjystanton Just to add, what @tdd and the team at twitter have done with twitter polls is great: it's not always an either or scenario :) We're working really hard to ensure doopoll plays real nice with twitter and other social channels.

@craiginwales This is an interesting question! We'll won't ever require users to download a native app to answer a poll, but we have looked at some use cases for poll creators, such us a remote for controlling live results, or reporting on polls. Is there a specific use case that you would require a native version of doopoll for? Glad you like the interface! The next iteration is going to be even better!

@aexmo @dartemail That would be nice, verrrry nice. Gonna bring in @sgoudie to talk a little about API collaboration.

@thedimmick @dartemail @sgoudie nice one. v2.0 is a matter of weeks off, tonnes of new stuff and potential to hook into API's also

@aexmo @thedimmick @dartemail Sounds great! The public beta for our API launches in the next few months. Let's chat! DM me with your contact details and we'll find a time.
