Behind the scenes for all your juicy insider information

First thing is first: diPoll will be holding a contest!

Full details for the contest will be released soon here on the blog, so keep an eye out.  What I can tell you now is that the contest will be based on poll submissions – so start brainstorming ideas and saving pictures!  In the meantime we’re asking for your input to decide on the contest prize. Vote here to choose either a special edition iPod or a $100 gift certificate from Amazon, or comment on the diPoll with your own prize ideas.

It’s been a week now since we opened the site up for beta testing and we’ve already been getting some great feedback. It’s not falling on deaf ears! Here are the topics of a few of the comments and suggestions we’ve been getting:

Deleting images after uploading: A few people let us know about this one. They would upload their picture to create a poll, but if they didn’t like how it looked they couldn’t delete it. Now, you’ll find a big ‘X’ at the top of the picture that allows you to delete it and upload another one before you publish your poll.

Where’s the search box?: On the way! Soon you’ll be able to search our entire poll database to find the ones you’re interested in.

Username Rules: Oops! We forgot to mention restrictions on usernames when you’re registering, but that’s fixed now. Over the next few days you’ll also see some other big changes to our sign up page.

Randomizing / Dumb Next Button: Is our dumb next button giving you repeat polls? We’ve tinkered with it so that should be less likely now. In the future we’re going to be making it even smarter to give you more interesting and relevant polls.

Keep that feedback coming, and stay tuned for full contest details soon!
