Ask500People Weekly - July 2, 2008
Welcome to the second issue of Ask500People Weekly, a digest of Ask500People news, featured questions, and cool comments. Here’s what’s up this week!
Better Blog Embeds
We recently announced a new-and-improved embeddable poll, allowing you to post and share polls on your blogs and websites. Well, we’ve improved them even further, making them more compatible with people using WordPress for their blogs. If you haven’t yet tried it, you should! It’s a great way to add interactivity and activity to your site.
Notable Polls
source asked: “Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Does everyone have just one true love?” Over 300 people voted:
- A. Yes: 55%
- B. No: 45%
yolda commented: “This are two questions, which I would answer one with yes one with no, for example. I believe in soul mates, which can be more than one, and I believe that one can have more than just one true love.”
ChipMonk asks: “Do you have a valid library card? If so, do you use it at least once a year?” Nearly 500 people voted:
- A. Yes (I have a valid library card): 22%
- B. Yes (and I use it at least once a year): 37%
- C. No (I do not have a valid library card): 41%
Hauli commented: “I use the library all the time. For new releases or any book that isn’t on the shelf, I can order online and they email me when the book is in for pick up.”
Vieffan asked: “Do you consider yourself old?” Over 400 people voted:
- A. Yes: 23%
- B. No: 77%
Ross commented: “I’m a hell of a lot closer to seventy than sixty five and whilst I like to think I’m not old, just oldish, I have to admit there are a lot of things I can’t do as well as I once could. But old? No. Not yet.”
Maeycken asked: “Do you know your neighbours?” Nearly 500 people voted:
- A. Yes: 67%
- B. No: 33%
PhxMike commented: “I live in a historic neighborhood, with a great deal of cultural diversity. Always fascinating, and everyone watches out for one another.
