Happy New Years from Poll Everywhere!

If you haven’t noticed, Poll Everywhere has undergone some major changes. First and foremost is the new Poll management interface. While our old interface was working just fine we came to the realization that it would start crumbling when we started adding some of the exciting features that we have planned.

While our new user interface is the star of the show; we added other notable features including:

XML Results

Now you can download your Poll Everywhere results as XML! This allows even tighter integration between your applications and Poll Everywhere. For developers, this means you can now access results through our XML Poll API.

Time Zones

Did you ever wonder why the time stamp of your results didn’t seem quite right? We fixed that problem by adding time zones to Poll Everywhere. If you’re an existing user, you can click on “My Info” and change your time zone to your locale.

User Information Management

Ok, we should have had this from the start but we finally rolled it into Poll Everywhere.

Now you can change your password, email address, time zone, and other user information from the “My Info” tab.

While most of these features are small; we did a tremendous amount of plumbing work that is going to let us roll a lot of your feedback into our product. You will be able to see the fruits of this labor early in 2008.

We thank our early adopters for helping us make Poll Everywhere even better! To show our appreciation we have given 200 free votes to our existing accounts. Keep the feedback coming and Happy New Year!
