For some startups, there’s no buzz needed – Poll Everywhere (YC S08)

Poll Everywhere is a cool example of not only a tech startup who beat the traditional startup model but also an example of a company that found success in simply doing something better. Instead of coming up with a unique, complex, and unneeded solution they created something that was better than what was currently available. Very inspiring!

Like Basecamp. The question is can a bootstrapped business grow to become a challenger to a VC backed juggernaut like Facebook/Google.

If, like me, you've never heard of Poll Everywhere - It's a way of running live polls in a presentation where people text in their vote and it live updates.

I love the idea and want to use it immediately.

Good lord the Boston Globe has one of the most annoying paywalls. I can't even use incognito mode to read this article.
