The social network Twitter, despite being simple and sometimes limited, has many resources to express all kinds of ideas or interact with users. Something that is also used a lot to promote content And it is that more than one user will have come across the classic tweet that asks about a question inviting the user to do Fav (favorite) or RT (retweet) to count the votes, or simply to make the survey reach more users.Well, Twitter has taken action on the matter by launching a new function: the surveys A tool that has a lot of potential in this 140-character social network, and that we teach you how to use step by step below.
The new feature to create polls is seamlessly integrated into Twitter, appearing when composing a new tweet or message In this way, all you have to do is click on the pie chart (or pie) icon that appears on the the screen next to the button to publish photos.
At that moment all you have to do is write the tweet that will act as the question or header of the survey And, next to it, two possible answers It is curious that Twitter continues to bet on the duality and simplicity, although it can be a limitation for users who want to raise broader questions than a dichotomy.In any case, once the responses have also been written, all you have to do is post this tweet-poll regularly
With this, all followers will be able to see the question or doubt and the possible answers, allowing anyone who answers offer your vote for one issue or another In this regard, a couple of keys must be taken into account. On the one hand, these surveys are completely private, so users will not leave a record of which option they have chosen, preventing this function from being used by brands to create or spam campaigns On the other hand, the Twitter surveys notify all participating users of the final result of the sameSomething useful for not losing the data of those important questions that have been helped to answer. Although they can be a problem for those who actively participate in many of them and do not want their mobile phones to notify them of all these results.
Surveys launched by Twitter have a fixed duration of 24 hoursat most. After that period the question is closed, without more users being able to offer their vote. This is when the notification is sent to all participants. Of course, once voted, it is also possible to find out the percentage of evaluations that one answer or another has received.
This feature comes to Twitter at a difficult time, trying to get off the ground and get back to the attention of more users. Maybe that's why it took so little time since the first tests were carried out until it was released to all users In this way, anyone can set up surveys inTwitter, either from the web or through the applications mobiles.Just have Twitter for Android or for iOS and wait for the feature to go live in the days following the release of this feature, already released to global level
