Create interactive meetings at Poll Everywhere
You still use your mobile phone just to talk? With your voice?. Even with an old-school brick phone, if you’ve got a text messaging plan, you have access to all kinds of google results, the twitter hive-mind and even frequent requests for money from the president. No fancy web browsers or multi-touch required.
Poll Everywhere, as well as PlaceMatters, are taking advantage of the near-ubiquity of mobile phones to lower the cost and barriers to a tool that has value for planners: audience participation systems, otherwise known as audience response systems or keypad voting. Think mobile phone = keypad and cheap web app = expensive voting software and you’ll get the gist. I’ll gush a little bit about Poll Everywhere below the fold.
