Social Polling Network, Polladium.com, Launches as First Online Polling Site with Twitter-Like Interface

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Polladium.com, the social polling network™, today launched as an online repository for polls on hot topics on the Web. The first social polling Web site to offer a Twitter-like interface, Polladium.com completely redefines the social polling landscape by encouraging self expression and offering a new way of interpreting current events through polling.

Members can easily create a free account and a customizable VoxBox profile page. Vox, the Latin word meaning voice, speaks to the site’s purpose of promoting self expression based on polling habits. As members vote on polls they can add comments in less than 160 characters. Each member's opinions are displayed on their VoxBox page along with the original polling question. On each polling page VoxBox opinions are displayed, developing debate forums on the site. Other unique features of the site include the following:

• Customizable VoxBox Themes—Every member can customize his or her VoxBox profile by selecting a theme such as political affiliation represented by the Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant
• Listening Capabilities—If a member finds another member's opinions interesting, he or she can "listen" to that member. Once listening, the user can view all future opinions that member posts when voting
• In the News—A special section of the site links polls to recent, relevant articles on the Web uploaded by members and the creators of polladium.com

To make the site easy to navigate and search, polls are organized by locale such as the United States and categories like business, entertainment, health, international, politics, science/technology and sports. Polls with the highest votes are listed first within each locale and category. If a poll becomes popular, it will show up on the polladium.com homepage daily under “hot on the Web.”

In addition to VoxBox pages, Polladium.com offers businesses and organizations the ability to create their own Polladium page for their Web site. Organizations can add a Polladium icon on their Web site, which links back to their Polladium page. By leveraging this unique feature, businesses can easily poll visitors on their sites on any topic they choose. For example, a restaurant looking to offer outdoor seating may want to poll customers to see if they are more inclined to dine at the restaurant if outdoor seating is available. As another example, a blogger may poll his visitors’ thoughts on recent gadget reviews. Similarly to how members on Polladium.com can “listen” to other members, customers and Web site visitors can “listen” to a business or organization via their respective Polladium page.

"Polladium offers a chance for us to easily tap into the views and opinions of our readers, this fun and exciting site is sure to be the next big thing. The cool factor is off the charts," commented Jef Price, editor and co-founder of NecessaryCool.com.
