We told you about the simple and beautifully designed polling platform GoPollGo this month, and the company has announced some enhancements to its free service.

If you need to get public opinion from people on popular social networking platforms, GoPollGo is the best service Ive found to do that. The service gave you basic location analytics from those who have interacted, but more robust polling data is now available.

Go Go Analytics

GoPollGo now lets you segment votes by location, age, gender, operating system, referring website, and browser type, all in real-time.

This is a pretty advanced offering for a free service, and anyone can benefit from these added items. You dont have to be a big company to get a decent set of data from a poll.

Below, youll find a full screenshot of the new data:

I spoke with GoPollGo founder and CEO Ben Schaechter about todays launch:

TNW: Since launching, what type of numbers are you seeing in regards to how many polls are submitted and voted on?

Ben Schaechter: Each short-lived poll on average collects roughly 60 votes. To give you an idea, since the relaunch of our site three months ago with real-time analytics, weve had hundreds of thousands of votes come in.

TNW: How did you choose which analytic items would get added to the site?

Ben Schaechter: Age, Gender and Location are interesting and relevant to everyone: Especially large brands, media agencies and politicians (Imagine how valuable this data is to any politician right now). Operating System, Browser and referring domain were all suggestions from our users. For example, there is sometimes noticeable difference between thought of votes coming from Facebook as compared to Twitter, etc.

TNW: What is the most popular question ever asked on GoPollGo?

Ben Schaechter: The most popular poll ever created on GoPollGo was this one here: http://gopollgo.com/if-you-could-work-for-a-startup-any-startup-which-one-would-it-be. The reason is because Jack Dorsey, Brian Chesky, Dennis Crowley, Kevin Rose and a slew of other tweeted/posted the poll as a competition.

The data that GoPollGo collects can make or break a marketing campaign, or help you to decide which new smart phone to buy. With more data, its easier to take these responses seriously. Id like to see the company work on embedding these polls in new places, rather than focusing on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. As we know with polls, you cant take it serious until you have a decent amount of responses.! Focusi ng on helping companies get hundreds of responses submitted on their polls will make GoPollGo a near-perfect service.

12 startup founders discuss working on Christmas Day

Image
Well, it would seem a trifle rude to not begin proceedings with a warm Merry Christmas. But I must askwhat the hell are you doing reading this when you should be playing your new Nintendo 3DS, or guzzling that tenth mince pie of the day? But then, you will probably ask what the hell am I doing here writing this piece on the holiest of holy-days. My excuse? I love what I do, so its not like Im really working per seplus, I actually prepped much of it yesterday. And your excuse is likely along the lines of I love all things tech, why would I switch off just because my calendar says December 25? Fair point. Confucius once said: Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Nice sentiments for sure, but theres still the issue of a healthy work/life balance to contend with even for startup founders. So I asked a handful of founders and CEOs whether they would be working on Christmas Day this year, or whether theyd treat themselves to a day off. I mean, it is a...

Flipboard needs to branch its content out from US/UK, heres why

Image
Earlier this month, an eagerly anticipated iPhone app was finally launched as Flipboard took its highly acclaimed iPad app to the phone. The app has been out for a few weeks and, with the deafening chorus of cheers fading, Ive found myself shunning its beautiful and innovative design for the simple fact that its content isnt relevant enough for me. Compared to Zite , which may not be as aesthetically pleasing, Flipboard comes up wanting on content. Zite is, among others , an app which aggregates content from my social web Twitter, Google Reader and others giving it to me in a magazine style layout. Though it lacks the page flipping ingenuity of Flipboard, the reading is more varied, which is ultimately what Im looking for from a social magazine. There is credit to be given to Flipboard however, as it is addressing the issue by building an editorial team, as its founder told Robert Scoble recently . The company has also started curating content publicly too, with @flipboardtech cura...

Digitimes: Apples iPhone 5 to include smaller screen and metal chassis

Contray to previous reports that suggested Apples next-generation iPhone would include a 4.2-inch touch screen panel, Asian technology publication Digitimes reports that the device will feature a smaller 4-inch panel, adapting the rear of the device to ship with a metal chassis instead of reinforced glass. Digitimes points out that the many of the rumoured specifications expected to be featured in the iPhone 5 are the markets expectations, with sources indicating that the device will possibly adopt a significantly smaller screen than first imagined: The sources pointed out that the upcoming iPhone will not have many differences compared to iPhone 4 in terms of components and the panel will still be less than 4-inch. The iPhone 5 will adopt a 3.5- to 3.7-inch panel with a design to allow the bezel of the panel to become thinner and make the screen look larger. The inclusion of a metal back will divide opinion, given suggestions that Apple had intentionally utilised glass designs to boo...
