Go Wave!

We have already come across many robots & gadgets which lets you add polling to wave. I must say this one beats all of them! Poll Gadget lets you add/remove options & create a poll. Results will be showed as soon as somebody votes. Poll Gadget uses Google chart APIs to represent the data in different charts (Bar chart & Pie chart). “Log” shows complete history about which user voted for what. Once the polling is completed, admin (One who created the poll) can click on “Embed Charts” to show the results to other users.

Polly is quite different from other Robots. Adding polly to a wave creates administrative interface for a poll. Just like creating any other poll add tittle, question & choices to your poll. But, you shouldn’t add participants to this wave, this wave is for administration of wave & preferably only you should have access. Instead of adding users to the wave, you need to add them in “Recipients”  field of the poll separated  by commas. Once done, click on “Distribute Poll” & poll will be sent to all recipients as a new wave. Recipients can alter their choice later. Statistics of the poll will be added to administrative wave.
