New Features: Disabling Polls

We have just released a new feature for pieall that allow users to disable a poll. The difference with deleting a poll is that by disabling you can re-activate the poll at a later time.

Polls that are disabled are not shown in the categories or in any listing.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop us a line: info@pieall.com

Our Growing Audience

Back when we launched Pieall in Feb. 17th, we did not expect the amount of traffic that was going to generate and the international dimension that was going to receive. Today, March 19th, we have more than 2,227 visits to our site, have collected 2,134 votes, and users have created 163 polls since that initial day.

In what respect to languages, we have been visited in 45 different languages. Although we currently support English and Spanish we are expecting to expand to French and Portuguese in the near future.

Our visitors come from 69 different countries. From those countries, Spain takes the lead with more than a thousand visits. On second place and growing is the USA followed very closely by France. Germany is also raising on a fourth place.

As we are approaching our M4 release (milestone 4), this gives us more energy and motivation to continue to enhance our product and we would like to thank you all for making this contribution.

Improved Embedded Polls

We have just released new features for our embedded polls. Now users have two options regarding the size of the chart. A small chart, that is intended to economize space by locating the legends in an horizontal position. And a large chart, that is the current size of the Pieall poll site.

Additionally we have included an option to show the number of votes collected or not. This feature is intended for those sites who would like to hide the total amount of votes so as not influencing voters.

Under the hood, we also optimized the front page. Now the charts are loaded in parallel, thus increasing the speed of the load page. We also improved the speed of the quickvote, now takes less CPU.

Tendencies Week Mar 6 - 12th 2011

Today we start a weekly review on the latest tendencies of our polls in pieall. The idea is to summarize the latest trends and highlight the most interesting polls. The most popular poll for a second week in a row is political. It deals with US foreign policy. On the technology side, there is an interesting thread about privacy and social networks. If you answer negatively to any of the polls, you might be in trouble. If you haven't decided if you are a Rolling or Beatle's fan, then you are missing the most voted poll of the week. And finally, one of the most interesting polls deals with pieallers Sunday routines. Take a look, you'll be surprise what people like to do.

Crowdsourcing: Mass collaboration

A key difference between Pieall and the standard poll system is the way people contribute to the poll. People reading and voting your poll may not be in your proximity or speak your same language. Pieallers may be taking a poll while you sleep and sleeping while you are at work. This diversity is what makes the Pieall poll system special: everybody is contributing to your idea!

Yes, we love crowdsourcing.

Of course, you always have the option of going private. In that mode, only people to whom you sent the link will be able to find your poll.

Whatever you choose, let us know what you think.
