Polls

[andrewducker]

I just posted a poll over on LJ.

I didn't post it here, because I regularly get over a hundred votes in polls on LJ, and I doubt that I have that many people over here that would vote on it.

However - to test this theory:

Poll #5511

Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 14

View Respondents

If the poll had been posted over here I would have voted in it.

View Answers

Yes
14 (100.0%)

No
0 (0.0%)

If only polls worked in both places - but I can't think of a simple method of doing that.

For reference, I voted for what my first working day would have been had I not been off sick.

And if you post a poll on here you get a link in your LJ crosspost, but LJ users are so lazy and insular that they won't go to another site for ANYTHIIIIIING

(hopes that jokeyness came across in that last paragraph)

((is probably making things worse by adding more brackets))

I only voted on it over there because I knew you wouldn't have been able to crosspost from here.

I can think of a way polls can be posted in both places, but it means messing around with embedding, and I suspect would require cooperation between both sites, which is unlikely.

I may ask around a bit when I've time and spoons to see how technically daft my idea is, I would actually really like it if paid users can embed polls off site with a clear OpenID/Oauth login system for the poll directly.

Mostly because the DW implementation of polls is now even better than LJs, and I always thought that was the best online polling systemI've encountered. DW has hit many many bugs with hammers, and added nifty extra features whihc I really ought to use more often.

My reading pattern is to read DW first and then LJ (if I've time). So those who crosspost will mostly receive comments from me on DW, not LJ.

As to cuts - I just open them in a tab, same as if I decide to comment.
