After watching a demonstration of the service Poll Everywhere today, my brain is buzzing with the number of potential uses for this service. Using cell phones, smart phones, Twitter, and the web, members of groups of all types as well as polls meant for the general public can now be distrubuted and collected in a very new way.
Set up a free or premium account and you can start creating polls for your friends, family, or a mass of anonymous people. The different accounts come with different features, with the free account able to reach 30 people per poll, and several more paid levels up from there.
