facebookpolls Should Facebook offer a poll? Yes or No?

Facebook has created an easy way for its users to get quick answers to questions through its new polling feature. Facebook Polls allows you to ask detailed questions, target them to specific user segments and receive real-time responses. Facebook users can be targeted based on gender, age, school, location, or profile keyword. Each poll is displayed in users’ News Feed.

Facebook Polls is an excellent way for any corporation, organization or individual looking to gauge interest in a particular topic. For instance, a political organization can create a poll to get a sense of the popularity of candidates within a particular region and within a certain age demographic.

Facebook Polls is viewed as the newest revenue source. To create a poll, each user must spend a minimum of $5 for set-up. From there, each user can dictate how many answers they would like to receive and how much they are willing to pay for each answer. The more you are willing to pay per answer, the more your poll will show up and the quicker you will receive the cumulative data. .

  2. Contemplating Facebook a lot for serious purposes. It should offer a poll, but preferably be free, or have a “lite” free version.
