October 20, 2009 Text Message Polling Has ArrivedFiled under: Poll We’ve all seen it before on shows like American Idol (yeah, you know you watch it). Simple text message polling, where viewers or listeners of a live event send a text on a certain topic via their cell phones. Well, with all the live events that we do here at ASICentral — the weekly radio show, the ASI Shows, the annual Power Summit — we decided to test out some new polling software that allows users to send in their votes from their cell phones. Here’s how it works: We provide you with the 5-digit number that serves as “our” phone number — in this case, 99503 — then give you either keywords or code numbers that represent your answer to text to us. In other words, you vote by texting a word or number that we provide for you to 99503. Got it? OK, let’s do a simple text poll on the MLB baseball playoffs: Create your own sms poll at Poll Everywhere
If you’re unsure how to do this, go to your cell phone and add a new phone number contact — call it ASI. The number will be simply 99503. After saving the new contact, simply type a one-word text message to that number — PHILLIES, DODGERS, YANKS or HALOS — and hit “send” - it’s that simple! And you can watch the results in real-time, meaning that the graph above will change right before your eyes! Cool, huh? Well, what are you waiting for!? Test it out already! NOTE: Standard text messaging rates apply. – POLLdaddy 0 CommentsLeave a Comment |
