Helle everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post this.
We have just launched SMS Poll (
www.smspoll.net) - a text message audience voting solution. I'm hoping you will find this beneficial to your classroom / student interaction.
With SMS Poll you can
register for free, set up a poll in seconds and publish a flash chart into your own website / blog or PowerPoint presentation. Your students then vote on the poll by either sending an SMS, using their laptop to perform a web vote or use their mobile browser.
You can then watch the flash chart update in real time (no refresh of a browser required) as the votes come in.
The best thing - no special hardware or setup is required as the students already have their own mobiles and they know how to use them! :)
Once your poll is complete, you can download your results to a CSV file for further analysis. Because each voter has an ID - you can also do cross analysis and monitor trends amongst your students with a variety of polls.
The benefits for Students and Teachers can be found here:

You can also demo the types of voting and see how the chart updates in real time here:

We are currently available in the UK and Australia and we plan to make the service available in other countries very soon.
If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback on the product (if you've used it or plan to) please
get in touch through the site. We would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Ian
