IDEA: Polling is needed!
Steem needs decentralized polling.
Voting in polls is something that people would no doubt use as Twitter has proven. I vote in polls there all the time, and I really think Steem would benefit from having this feature. Any thoughts?
Right now I can say that we at Follow My Vote are watching Steem closely and it's entirely likely that we'll port a lot of our technology to Steem after it launches on BitShares. Steem has a major advantage for polling in that it has no fees. :)
Also, our designs for ID-verified, anonymous one-person-one-vote polling should be effective solutions to the problems @pfunk references, with sybil attacks on the one hand, and stake-weighted polls primarily being useful only for community decisions on the other.
Wow that's excellent! I was thinking it would be more of an informal thing where stuff like that would be socially enforced but having accurate polls would be extremely useful as WELL as fun. Big fan of Follow My Vote btw. You guys stay innovating over there
