You may have been scrolling on your Twitter timeline recently and noticed users posting polls, wondering how they actually did that. Don’t worry, we thought the same! After a little research, we’ve found that it’s a new feature the social media giants are rolling out for users, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you will do so soon.
Previously, we’ve offered a few different ways to participate in polls — Tweeting questions and tracking replies, tallying hashtag votes, or asking followers to favorite or Retweet to vote. Now, you’ll be able to create your own two-choice poll right from the compose box and it will remain live for 24 hours. You can vote on any poll, and how you voted is not shared publicly.
