Tiny Polls for Twitter

A new service called StrawPoll has been introduced created by Rob Goodlatte & Dan Romero

Explanation of the service from Rob Goodlatte

Today I’m pleased to introduce StrawPoll, a tiny polling application for Twitter. The premise is simple: each day, we ask an interesting question. Reply to strawpoll and tell us why you voted the way you did. StrawPoll tallies the votes and displays the most recent reasons for each response. To get started, all you need to do is sign into Twitter and start following strawpoll.

For example, today’s question is “Better superpower: flight (1) or invisibility (2)?”. To answer, simply reply to @strawpoll with a message like:

@strawpoll flight because you could travel anywhere for free

Your reply must be formatted like “@strawpoll <vote> <reason>”, where is one word or number, and your reason can be as long as you’d like (less than 140 characters of course).
