Twtpoll is a service that allows you to create polls or surveys using Twitter. You need a Twitter account to create a poll, but you do not need an account to participate in one. After you create the poll at twtpoll.com you can paste the link to the poll on any social networking website, blog, webpage, or in an email. There is no cost to create polls.

 

I am relatively new to the twitter scene but I am finding it useful to keep up on certain kinds of information. Just last week I posted about a college professor who is using twitter in her college classroom to garner real-time student input during the class (You can read it here). I can see teachers using twtpoll in the same kind of fashion. It could be used to get student feedback or responses to multiple choice questions during the class or the teacher could create a poll of multiple choice questions and send it to students via email to get feedback after the lesson.

 

I learned about twtpoll from Liz Kolb (@lkolb) who sent out a twtpoll via twitter yesterday.
