Ask Readers What to Write About

Use the Skribit voting poll on the right to tell me what you want me to write about. I'm experimenting with this new free voting tool.

It's fairly simple and easy to install on your blog. There are two options, one where readers have to register and log in to submit a suggestion, and the one here that allows anonymous suggestions. Click on the title "What Should I Write About" to make the box below active, type in your suggestion, hit submit and you'll see your suggestion appear.

We've installed a similar Skribit widget over on BizTips Blog, Denise's blog about Internet Marketing. But you'll have to register and log in to submit a suggestion or vote over there. We'll see which version works the best.

Of course, like any free tool on the Web, making it available to anonymous posters leaves your poll wide open to spammers, unscrupulous marketers who leave their own URLs, etc. We'll see how long it takes for this poll to be ruined! But I don't think any of my readers will abuse it, they're too savvy!

I gotta say, this Skribit poll has been under-whelming! No one is using it. Is it because you have to click on the question to get it to open up so you can write in your questions? I don't know. I am thinkking Vizu.com is a better way to go...
