If today was Election Day & these were the only two candidates who would win? Anthony Noto SeptemPrivacy Here’s an example from Twitter CFO Anthony Noto: Once you have voted in a poll you will see the results as they currently stand, the option you selected marked with a checkmark (only you will see this), the total vote count, and the remaining time left on the poll.Īfter a poll has ended, the results will update for all to see within the original tweet. Twitter polls are made up of a few key components: The two voting options, number of votes counted and the time left before the poll closes.īefore you vote, a Twitter poll looks like this: Once a poll is completed the results can be viewed publicly.How you voted is not shared publicly (so no one else will be able to see which option you voted for).Polls have a lifespan of 24 hours, and tweeters are informed of how long is left to vote, and how many people have voted - as well as the results in percentage.Twitter polls are limited to two answer options only.
For those participating, it’s a very easy way to make your voice heard. For poll creators, it’s a new way to engage with Twitter’s massive audience and understand exactly what people think. If you want the public’s opinion on anything - what to name your dog, who will win tonight’s game, which election issue people care most about - there’s no better place to get answers than on Twitter. Twitter Product Manager Todd Sherman explains more about polls over at Twitter’s blog: Polls are a native feature - meaning the polls are embedded directly into the tweets, rather than having to use Twitter Cards. Twitter users can now create their own two-option polls and gather votes from their audience. Twitter polls appear to be a much more effective way to run polls and opens up polls to everyone, natively.
In fact people have been running polls on Twitter for a long time through either a “retweet/favorite to vote” mechanism or by using hashtags to count votes. Polls on Twitter aren’t a totally new concept. In this post I’m happy to cover the ins and outs of Twitter polls, how to set them up, and nine engaging ways you can use polls today. Here we go!
How can you use them to boost your marketing and your business? How can you get started with Twitter polls? And, as with many new features, we’ve been eager to learn: We can’t wait to test them out for ourselves at Buffer and see the results. With the release of its new Polls feature (available to all Twitter accounts in the coming days), you can now create super-simple polls directly on Twitter with just the click or a button or a tap on your phone.
Twitter has long been the place to turn for opinions on everything from who will win tonight’s game to ideas for your next blog post.Īnd now it’s just become even easier to gather opinions from your audience on Twitter.
