Polls: New Connect Feature Request [possibly in the Water Cooler section ;-)]

Hey guys, in an effort to increase engagement on Connect, how about we introduce Polls? It will be a new way of creating content which would drive engagement. The idea is to keep quality in mind vs quantity so you can limit this feature to certain boards only, e.g. the Local board or perhaps a new Water Cooler section? 🙂

- The poll will have only radio buttons (so only one answer)

- Duration of the poll can be from 1 day to 7 days.

- After the voting ends, we can see the results in terms of percentage on a horizontal bar graph. We can also see total # of responses when we hover the mouse on the graph.

- Voting is not anonymous (so we can see who has voted for what option). This is just a suggestion.

- Limit the choices to 5. (Character limit for each option = 25)

 

Possible use cases:

Q: How many meet-ups have you attended? A: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or more

Q: Have you hosted a meet-up? A: Yes, No

Q: What's your fav way of contributing to Maps? A: Rating, Reviews, Photos, Adding new places, Answering questions

In case we have a new Water Cooler section, polls in there can be like:

Q: Vote for your favourite TV show. A: Stranger Things Vs. The X Files!

Q: The best superhero/heroin is:  A: Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, I don't believe in fiction!

Q: The best movie trilogy ever made.  A: Spiderman, LOTR, Hobbit, Matrix, The Godfather. 

 

Your vote matters! Go vote now! 🙂

 

Cheers!

Me gusta la idea @vvbellur, yo la utilizaba frecuentemente en G+, en la comunidad, para poder conocer que opinaban los miembros de algunas acciones que deseaba consultar, como por ejemplo, organicemos una Meet-Up, o por ejemplo que haran el fin de semana, para motivar a los miembros a juntarnos y ha participar.

Te dire que los resultados no fueron tan buenos, ya que la participación no era tan alta, quizas si el público es mundial, la reseptivdad a esta modalidad puede resultar mas popular, como forma de pregunta rápida a miembros de una comunidad, en este caso Connect, me parece efectiva, seria cuestion de experimentar y ver.

Hi @vvbellur, thank you for sharing this idea with us. It is not something the team is able to implement at this time but we're keeping topics related to Local Guides.
