It's disappointing that the polls will apparently only allow 2 choices (so no good way to ask about, say, the winner of a GOP presidential debate with 10+ candidates). I'd imagine that the media will love using this to get some instant feedback/reactions after things like debates or the State of the Union address.
That was my initial thought, but I just can't see having a poll with ten choices which'll end up taking a huge estate of mobile screen space be viable. Sort of conforms to their 140-character limit justification for tweets: short and simple.
Still a good way for the Twitter product.
Two choices was already possible: Star for X, Retweet for Y ;^)
But really, considering at least half of Twitter users are bots, how reliable can this be?
Great news if for nothing else, this spells the end of the Fav/RT binary polls that are fundamentally flawed in their form.
I would love to see a polling system that is not as dumb as first-past-the-post [ie only pick one] which is currently used everywhere and provides very little information.
