SMK’s app of the week: Straw

They say two heads are better than one. But what about two hundred? If you want to find out what the common wisdom is at any given time one, you run a poll.

And one of the best apps to run polls with is Straw.

Not the last Straw

Straw offers an easy way to take the pulse of your friends and the wider online community.

Simply create your poll by asking a question, add voting options, then decide where it will be posted. Straw lets you embed your poll on any website, social network or blog.

Users can also access a Discovery feed where they can vote on random public posts.

Cast a wide net

What makes Straw stand a little taller than its rivals is Strawcast, a feature that allows users to publicly broadcast their polls.

Using Strawcast, your poll will be visible to all Straw users, and will appear in the official Straw Twitter feed.

For brands wanting to feel out public opinion without shelling out for market research, Straw's an attractive easy option.
