Qarbon vs. Polldaddy

June 15th, 2008 · No Comments

To the left you have a Qarbon Viewletpoll. Here are the stats for that poll.

To the right you have a similar poll generated by Polldaddy. Figure 1 displays the statistics from Qarbon.

 

 

 

 

Figure 1—Qarbon Viewletpoll stats

Note that are still only fourteen people who have voted on the Viewlet Poll. However, the Qarbon statistics are very detailed and show the number of views and visits. As soon as 100 people look at it, it shuts down for the day. Part of the deal for a free Viewletpoll.

Figures 2 and 3 display the statistics from Polldaddy.

As you can see, I made some more distinctions to the Poll. The top Poll asks if Twitter has changed your blog writing habits. Poll number two asks if Twitter has changed your blog reading habits. I realized that my first poll was mixing those two questions.

The graphics are nice at Polldaddy, but are not as detailed as Qarbon. You can upgrade at Polldaddy and find out location information of your voters.

Figure 2—Polldaddy statistics

Note that Polldaddy already exceeds the number of voters in one day that the Viewletpoll has had all month. That has to be a factor of the uptime. Polldaddy doesn’t care how many votes per day or how many visitors there are.

I will post the results of the new poll after there has been some activity.

As a sidenote, I received some tweets asking me why I was antipatriotic. This must of been as a result of my "Long Live Obama" jest. Let me be clear. I am not telling you my politics here. I am poking fun at politics. Voting in specific. I am not judging you or your politics. I don’t care who you vote for…as long as it isn’t that warmongering twit McCain.
