There is now a new application on facebook which allows you to create questionnaires, surveys, polls, votes and petitions, answer them and invite your friends to answer them. You can display your answers to a questionnaire on your profile so people can get to know you better. We just launched it a couple of days ago, the questionnaires are up and running, polls votes and petitions will arrive in the next couple of days. In a few weeks time we hope to add commercial surveys where users get paid via paypal to answer surveys, but currently its all completely free, and you can view everyones answers to your surveys! We are adding more features all the time - it will soon be very powerful indeed. We are also willing to consider adding any feture you require on request!

Check it out:

Best wishes,

FB users aren’t on facebook to make money. They buy gifts and do polls because it’s entertaining. If you pick the right poll topic and audience, people will answer it. When I see an apple video ad on a website I don’t click on it expecting a share of the money. I click on it because the ads are amusing. I think it’ll be a huge hit for any market researcher that wants to tap into the net-savvy 18-25 year olds.

I think one point that’s missed here is what the population that answers the Facebook polls will look like. Certainly, one would have to look at the Facebook respondees as a self-selected audience, reducing the value of these polls to advertisers or marketers. So while it sounds good on the surface, I don’t think Facebook is going to see the flood of marketers and advertisers they expect, simply because the sample is both skewed and poorly defined, and therefore reduces its value.

Allen has a good point. As users we’re not here to respond to polls to help facebook make more $. There needs to be some direct or indirect gain for users for this to really gain some traction. Profit sharing isn’t a likely possibility. FB-credit for purchasing gifts?

I’d prefer a free poll site to utilize for my social networking site, Love Across Borders.

And of course, someone will make a free poll widget app thing and then everyone can create a huge variety of polls from the smart to the silly, and get the feedback from their own network. It won’t poll the whole site, but the freeness might muck up the initiative by so much noise-to-signal.

And yes, Facebook is this week’s Second Life. (Did you know you can buy zOMG fake things for REAL money on FB?! Heh, I’m not actually making that up… there’s something very subtle going on in FB, virtually speaking…)
