How to use StrawPoll

StrawPoll keeps you updated on the latest happenings in the "Twitter-o-sphere" (we made that word up) through our pretty polls. It is also really easy to use. Here's how it works:

1. Get on Twitter.

   We assume that most of you already have a Twitter account or at least know what it is. But for those who don't, Twitter is a great microblogging and communication tool. You can get an account here.

2. Follow strawpoll on Twitter.

   This way you can recieve the Question of the Day.

3. Respond to today's question.

   Everyday around 8am EST, StrawPoll asks a new question. Think long and hard before replying back with your decision—your vote only counts once per day. Vote by replying to strawpoll by twittering "@strawpoll" <your vote> <your reason>. Make sure your vote is only one word or number. Your reason can be as long as you want.

   So to vote for flight in the sample poll: "Better superpower: flight (1) or invisibility (2)?", send the following Twitter reply:
   @strawpoll flight because I'm a bird!

4. Check out the results.

   The StrawPoll website is pretty sweet. What makes it even better is the fact that our homepage has a wonderful graph of the results for the QoD.

5. Tell your friends!

   The more people using StrawPoll, the more interesting the results.
