I love website polls, and not just for their entertainment value. When well designed and interpreted with caution, they can tell you something about the users of a site.
There’s a good example on nzherald.co.nz today. Responses to the poll suggests that almost half of the site’s readers aren’t into gaming.
The beauty of this is that the editor who created the poll did not exclude non-gamers and, as a result, learned something useful about the site’s readers.
The poll could be improved by adding more response options, e.g. for people who prefer an “other” platform, and for people who are into gaming but don’t have a preference.
