I've been playing with Twitter Polls for the past month. The engagement rate is remarkable (I've seen up to 10% of my followers engage with a poll); however, that's likely inflated because the feature is new. I honestly struggled to think of useful things to ask from my personal account but I can image several use cases for brands and for us with . - why limit to only two options? wrote a criticizing this limitation. P.S. and I chatted with about .
Is this another opportunity for me to ask for PH polls? 😃
There might also be limited engagement because all (as of right now) 3rd party apps don't support polls (especially Tweetdeck), definitely seems that recent releases (Highlights, Moments, and now Polls) are meant to bring users back to the native twitter experience.
, In your view would you limit polling to the hunters/makers?
I'd open it to everyone
I think it'd be most valuable for hunter/maker (primarily makers) to be able to pin a poll at the top for feedback they really wanted from the community.
Hunter
Been jealous of all those people with Polls enabled on Twitter. ;) Can't wait to finally try it :)
I'm still looking forward to getting Twitter Moments :(
Yep, me too :(
This is a fantastic way that Twitter is expanding beyond the limits of 140 characters. People use polls all the time (a la retweets and favorites) on Twitter. This is a fantastic addition to the platform. Love the pace of innovation from Jack and Team right now.
Why is the German translation made by Google Translate? At least it looks like it was... 🙈
done! 👌
I'm curious as to how news orgs, brands, etc. will use this. I can see the value to brands and marketers clearly - but I'm concerned that it might allow brands to cut down on some of the real, meaningful conversation with average consumers that Twitter currently thrives on (since why not just poll users about things instead of responding personally?)
interesting! And I'd think based on that finding the conversations are more focused around the survey and less scattered as a result.
I second here. I love this new addition to Twitter and can't wait to try it out! Think it has the potential of being huge in collecting immediate feedback. However, why only two options? Doesn't that drastically limit the kinds of questions people can/will ask?
I personally don't keep up with the Presidential Debate, but Twitter has been doing Presidential Debate Twitter Live. So I think there's good amount of data to be collected for the Presidential Debate/Things. I agree, I don't see any useful situations to through personal account. Well, maybe a Product Maker can validate their idea with a poll? Lol. I don't know.
It looks good on paper, but it needs the help of the community.I tried to ask Yes/No question to test an hypothesis, but didn't get any responses. People with a lot less followers will not see their polls answered. But, in a way, it's good because it's not limited to just your friends, but anyone who saw your poll, and wanted to participate. Can't wait anyway :)!
No, i didn't make any poll, I actually wanted to create an app to simplify the way we ask questions to stranger. So i tested my theory. Didn't get any responses.
I'm happy to see Twitter rolling polls out. I just hope people don't get carried away with them.
oh you know they will! :)
