RSS: take your poll feed with you

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

We’ve just added RSS support to each and every poll feed on Pollsb. This means you can now grab the RSS feed (by clicking on the RSS icon on the top of each page) from our site and get a fresh stream of polls right to your RSS reader, startpage, blog, or social network profile. You can grab the general feed for all the polls posted on Pollsb, or the editorial feed of polls that make it to the Pollsb homepage. You can even grab a specific topic feed, such as iphone polls: all you have to do is search, or click on a relevant tag, then grab the iphone polls RSS feed from the top of the tag’s page.

Here are 4 cool things to do with our RSS feed:

1. Voters: Add our editorial feed to your start page (igoogle, netvibes, or any other RSS reader) to start your morning with a fresh batch of carefully selected polls.

2. Bloggers: Add a topical feed to your blog or website: enrich your blog or website by offering your readers access to a world of polls on a relevant subject. Whether it’s fashion, technology, or celebrity polls, Pollsb has the relevant content and we’ll be happy to share: just grab the relevant RSS feed and place it in your blog or website.

3. Developers: Mash us up! Using our RSS feeds, web developers among you can go wild and use our data and content for a range of uses, applications and mash ups. We have some ideas for really great applications that can come out of this, but we’ll let you think of your own :)

4. Executives: by setting up a poll RSS alert for your brand, product, or keyword, you’ll find out when someone posts a poll about you on Pollsb, and be able to market research and follow real time customer opinions on your brand. All you have to do is search for your brand or product name, then grab the RSS link from the top of the search results page.
