By now you all definitely know I am obsessed with Lena Dunham – she is younger than me and she's already achieved every dream I've ever had for my life. I adore her talent, her persistence, her self confidence, the hard work she put in to get where she is, and the way she is changing the worlds perception of what beauty is.
Her first book, a collection of essays titled Not That Kind Of Girl comes out September 30th, and to promote it she's going on a book tour.
Her Toronto stop will coincide with the upcoming, highly recommended, hilarious comedy festival JFL42.
On September 20th at the Sony Centre she will be interviewed by Jian Ghomeshi, give a reading from the book, and open it up for what is likely to be a fascinating audience Q&A. I am BEYOND excited for this.
Lucky for you, if you want to be there too, you can enter to win one of five pairs of passes to see her courtesy of my friends at JFL42. Follow them on Twitter @JFL42 and find them on Facebook as well.

Last night I had the true pleasure of seeing this lovely lady live for the first time. Sad to admit she's one of those names I had always heard but never paid attention to, placing her in the 'probably too CanRock for me' category just by way of associated acts. The Rootstock show I was reviewing last night only reaffirmed that unfair categorization, placing her in between Steven Page, formerly of Barenaked Ladies fame, and Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea (someone I would normally avoid ever seeing).
Of course, as soon as she opened her mouth to start singing, I realized how far off I was. I was immediately blown away by the sheer tone and beauty of her voice. The most famous pop stars of today only wish they had a vocal as captivating and original as hers.
Making the night even better was how she described her songwriting process, and how she came to write the beautiful songs she sang. This one particularly struck a chord with me as I tried to hold back tears, making it the perfect choice for song of the week.
Give it a listen:
I recently had the chance to attend a Nokia Canada announcement event at Air Canada Club alongside a handful of other Toronto music + culture bloggers. The invite wasn't clear on what the event was for – just that they would be making an announcement, Alan Cross was a guest speaker, and we were invited to stay for The Killers show happening a little later in the evening.
I'll never turn down a free concert – yes, even a free Killers concert.
Surprise, surprise, I am eating my words from last fall where I talked about how horrid The Killers are live. Yes, when I saw them WAY back in 2004 they were indeed horrible. But almost a decade later, they have learned from all that bad press and found their groove. Thank god. Playing to a stadium sounding the way they did in 2004 – charging what they now charge – would be a joke.
There's something to be said about road experience. They have it now, along with a huge budget to back it up (and maybe ensure the auto-tuning that happens on the album is in place during the show, so Brandon's vocals actually hold up).
Beyond the fact that vocally, he sounded worlds better than what I remembered, his stage presence was off the charts. No longer was he just singing songs and not looking at the audience, acting too cool for anyone. No, he was the picture of a leading man – introducing every song, interacting with the audience, building the energy up, running around the stage, having fun with the band – he was in complete control. It was like I was looking at a completely different performer – there really is no comparison with the brooding Vegas douche who needed vocal lessons that I witnessed during the Hot Fuss tour.
They also smartly stuck to the hits – meaning it was still a Hot Fuss heavy set, which made it extra nostalgic and enjoyable for me, since I tuned out after that album.
Anyhow – back to my original reason for being there.
As it were, the event was to announce the release of Nokia Music in Canada.
The speakers for the evening were delayed because the Killers decided to soundcheck at the exact same time the event was scheduled – I've never seen a band soundcheck a huge empty venue before (or watched a show from the ACC Club box seats), so that was actually kinda neat.
When it did begin, Alan Cross told us about the future of mobile music, and how Nokia Music has done what (in my opinion) Apple should have done a long time ago, and is offering up free access to their massive music collection with the purchase of any of their Windows smartphones.
I wondered what the catch was, because free music services always seem to have a catch – but the only catch is that you have to buy the phone. As it should be.
Of course, they do need to make money to pay the artists, so if you want to avoid the 6 song skip limit I grudgingly endure with Songza on my Android, you can subscribe for unlimited skips. Definitely worth it.
They gave all the bloggers at the event a Nokia Lumia 520 to take home so we could personally try out Nokia Music – along with an amazing wireless speaker from JBL, Monster earbuds, and a one year subscription to Nokia Music.
I have made it no secret that I do not enjoy Windows 8 and its weird unnecessary app start screen in place of the start button – so I was skeptical about a Windows smartphone to say the least – but after playing with it for a couple weeks I can officially say it's a solid (and very affordable!) smartphone.
For one – it looks 100x prettier than both the Android, iPhone and Blackberry (all of which I have owned at one point). The way it lets you personalize the screen is, for me, the most attractive of all the smartphones by far. The way that Windows 8 fails as a desktop, it wins as a smartphone. It makes perfect sense to have an attractive app home screen on your phone.
Nokia Music is amazing, because not only can you listen to all the music you want – it will take a look at your personal music collection and recommend artists for you to listen to.
You can also make custom mixes from your favourite artists. I made a 'Broken Social Scene, Elliott Smith, Nirvana' mix that purely played only songs I love – something that doesn't happen so much on my other music apps.
The BEST part? You can download mixes right onto your phone so you don't need a data connection to listen. Do I need to repeat that? The worst part about Songza is that it cuts out in the subway when my data connection cuts off, leaving me music free.
There's no need to worry about such a situation happening with Nokia Music. This is particularly awesome for me as it means I can listen to my mixes when I take Mr Bojangles on walks, even though I haven't switched my phone service over.
The Windows phone definitely wins against my Android in terms of music performance, beauty/simplicity of the layout and homescreen, and touchscreen ability (you can use it with GLOVES ON).
But, I am hesitant to switch over until they acquire an Instagram app. That is the whole reason I got an Android in the first place. They already have all the other necessary apps – Instagram is the only one I would legitimately miss out on. But this is the first incarnation of the Windows smartphone so there is a lot of room for improvement on all the apps.
I can't wait to see where Nokia and Windows go with these new smartphones. I can definitely see myself switching over soon enough. The music alone is a good enough reason.
Have you tried Nokia Music? Would you consider switching over?
Another giveaway! Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is back with their new album Specter At The Feast, and they'll be playing Kool Haus in Toronto Thursday night in support of it. I couldn't be happier. They've been one of my favourites since they released the absolutely flawless Howl in 2005 – one of the strongest albums of the decade.
Thanks to Live Nation you can win a pair of tickets to see them play by subscribing to TTRO – just enter your email in that little box on the left sidebar and once you click the confirmation email you will be entered. If you're already a subscriber and you'd like to enter, just comment below using the email you used to subscribe – where it asks for your email (not in the body of the comment!) – so I can confirm.
Contest ends and the winner will be contacted Thursday morning. Watch the video for the gorgeous new track "Returning" below:
Hamilton, this one's for you (or those of you in the GTA and surrounding areas willing to make the trip since they're not playing Toronto for some strange reason!). Courtesy of Live Nation, I have a pair of tickets to giveaway to the Dropkick Murphys show at Hamilton Convention Centre on Saturday, November 17th.
All you have to do to enter is be a fan of TTRO on Facebook and like the status about this contest. Winners will be contacted via Facebook on Thursday November 15th so be sure to check your 'other' messages folder on that day.
I gotta say, I'm sad they don't have a Toronto date, would have loved to see them sing their drunken Irish bar songs in person.
If there were ever a song that should be played at the end of the night at every bar (besides Closing Time, of course) it's this legendary piece of gold:
I'm a pitiful sight, and I ain't all that bright
I'm definitely not chiseled from stone
I'm a cheat and a liar, no woman's desire
I'll probably die cold and alone
But just give me a chance, 'cause deep down inside
I swear I got a big heart of gold
I'm a monogamous man, no more one night stands
Come on, honey, let me take you home

U96 is a dance music project formed by German producers Alex Christensen, Alberto Ingo Hauss, Helmut Hoinkis, and Hayo Panarinfo, known for numerous 1990s Eurodance classics. The name comes from the well-known movie Das Boot about the German submarine U 96 from the Second World War. The project's first hit Das Boot (1991) is a techno remake of the film's title melody, which had been originally composed by Klaus Doldinger. An album of the same name was also number one in the German charts. This album paved the way for the commercial breakthrough of techno and house artists in Germany.

Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino has added his name to the massive lawsuit over concussion-related brain injuries, becoming one of the highest-profile former players fighting the NFL.
Marino and 14 other lesser-known players added their names to the lawsuit in federal court last week in Philadelphia. The suit already has more than 4,500 players, including Super Bowl champion quarterback Jim McMahon, Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett, former Dolphins running back Mercury Morris and the family of ex-Dolphins linebacker Junior Seau, who committed suicide in 2012.
Last August, the NFL reached a $765 million settlement. But a federal judge threw it out in January, saying that it wasn't enough money to cover all the injured players.
Marino, who was unavailable for comment, does not have a publicly documented history of concussions.
The lawsuit does not specify specifics injuries to Marino, but like the other players, says he suffered "sustained repetitive, traumatic sub-concussive and/or concussive head impacts during NFL games and/or practices."
The suit says Marino suffered injury and economic loss. He is seeking financial damages and medical monitoring.
Former Dolphins guard Keith Sims, who already was part of the suit and played with Marino for most of the 1990s, said most head injuries weren't diagnosed or disclosed when they played.
"I'm sure we all had many concussions," Sims said Monday. "It wasn't diagnosed back then -- you'd get some smelling salts and go back in the game.
"We all were affected. If he feels like he wants to be a part of it, I applaud him."
Receiver Mark Duper, who starred alongside Marino in the 1980s, said earlier this year that he has CTE, a degenerative brain disease caused by head trauma.
Marino, 52, could become the new face of the lawsuit but Sims said neither he nor Marino are doing it for the money.
"I'm not in it to try to get millions of dollars from the NFL," Sims said.
"I want the medical coverage and I want to help the less fortunate players that are really struggling. I'm sure it's the same kind of thing with Dan."
But Sims acknowledged that Marino's name could help the lawsuit.
"Obviously, his name is out there more than anybody else's right now," Sims said.
The lawsuit accuses the NFL of "carelessness, negligence (and) intentional misconduct" involving concussions.
Anita Brody, the federal judge who rejected the settlement in January, said there wasn't enough proof that there'd be enough money to cover the injuries.
The settlement was supposed to be able to award former NFL players, including those who aren't part of the lawsuit, for brain injuries suffered on the field.
The payouts would be based on severity. Up to $3.5 million could be awarded for a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease or up to $5 million for an ALS diagnosis.
Brody said that even if just 10 percent of retired players qualified for a payout, the settlement number was likely too small.
Marino retired after the 1999 season, holding numerous NFL records including career yards and touchdowns. Most of his records have since been broken.
He spent the past 11 years as an analyst on "The NFL Today" on CBS, but the network replaced him in February. He has said in recent months that he's interested in a job in the Dolphins' front office.
In 2003, he was briefly named a top executive in the organization, but resigned several weeks later.
The Dolphins declined comment Monday and Marino's attorney and personal assistant did not return calls.

On the surface, Poll Everywhere is a simple application that works well for live audiences using mobile devices like phones. People participate by visiting a fast mobile-friendly web page for your event, sending text messages, or using Twitter. Instructions are displayed on-screen. The poll that is embedded within the presentation or web page will update in real time. Advanced uses include texting comments to a presentation, texting questions to a presenter, responding via the web, and SMS interactivity in print, radio, and TV.
You can respond by following the instructions shown on the poll when it is displayed. You send a text message to the number 22333. The format of your response is determined by the type of poll. More detailed information can be found in the User Guide.
You can also respond via the poll's web page on PollEverywhere.com, or via an embeddable voting widget, or on a mobile web browser using PollEv.com, or even through Twitter.
Typically there is no need to register or sign up to respond to any poll questions unless our polls are being used for attendance or grading purposes. If this may be the case you can see how to register here The way we usually work is the presenter or lecturer will display some poll questions live at the event or class on a projector. These polls will have specific instructions for how to respond. It will be something like going to pollev.com/PresenterName on your phone/laptop or to send an SMS to one of our phone numbers with a Keyword. The specific instructions will be displayed live when you get there. More detailed information for how to respond can be found in the User Guide User Guide
As a poll is displayed to an audience, they submit responses by visiting a specific web site, by sending text messages to our short code number (22333), or using Twitter and indicating the option they wish to select. In the case of text messaging, their mobile carrier routes their text message to our web servers where the response is counted. Once counted, the response is displayed in real time on-screen. You can learn more on our how it works page.
Our Presenter Notes and Best Practices page gives you our best tips gleaned from thousands of people using Poll Everywhere with live audiences. We also provide proven visual aids (slides) you can use in a presentation to make everyone's first experience a smooth one.
Yes, a poll is a single question or prompt you are inviting your audience to interact with.
A multiple choice poll lets you define a set of fixed choices that participants can choose from. Results can be displayed in a graph. An example of a multiple choice poll might be, "How many people are on Facebook?" with options like "500+ million", "100+ million", and "Less than 100 million".
A free text poll allows participants to send free-form text responses or short answers instead of pre-defined choices. A free text poll might ask, "What questions do you have for the presenter?" and participants can send in any short answer they want. Their answers might be just one word, a short phrase, or an entire sentence.
You can display your audience's answers in real time on a projector for everyone to see, or just on a laptop in front of the presenter. Some polls are not used in live-event settings (for example, radio, print, or long-term exhibition polls), so a live display of results isn't that relevant.
Most presenters want to focus on one poll question at a time with their audience. That's the default way we've set things up. The "active poll" is the poll that's on the big screen in front of everyone, being shown on their mobile devices, and/or receiving texts they send.
Of course you don't have to use a big screen, or mobile web devices, or text messages at all. If you want your audience to be able to answer lots of questions all at the same time, you can set that up. That said...
Only one poll can be the active poll at a time. It's our way of identifying which poll you're currently presenting. A poll will automatically become the active poll anytime you present it in Powerpoint, Keynote, or fullscreen mode from our website.
Most presenters will have their audience use mobile web devices to respond live on the presenter's PollEv.com/username voting page. The active poll is the poll that is being currently displayed on their devices. You have a lot of control: You can deactivate the poll to remove it from their screens, or lock the poll so it no longer accepts responses.
When people are responding using text messages or Twitter, you have several options for how they respond. By default, your poll questions use the "Presenter session" method. In this method, your audience texts your username to join your presenter session. Then when you make one poll the active poll, that's the poll that receives their responses. This makes responding very natural: First you ask an open ended question like, "What's your favorite letter of the aplhabet?" and people can text "A" or "Weird question!" Later, when you advance your slide to the next poll, we make it the active poll. If the second poll is multiple choice and says, "How often do you go to the movies? A) Once a month, B) A few times per year..." -- your audience can still just text "A" and it all works beautifully.
For a more detailed description check out the user guide section on activating your poll. You'll learn several ways to let people answer multiple polls at once: Surveys, unique web voting links, embedding, unique codes, and reserved keywords.
Sure. While most people will administer multiple polls by flipping through slides in front of a live audience, sometimes you want people to answer a series of polls on their own time, or by clicking through a sequence of polls on a smartphone.
On your main "My Polls" list, select some polls, click "Group", and set a name for the group. When you're hovering over the group's row, you'll see a link for 'Survey View'. This link is unique to this group of questions. If you add "/intro" to the end of the URL, it will give you the one-question-at-a-time (next/previous) survey view. That's useful for web-enabled phones, kiosks, or for hiding future questions. Learn more about Surveys.
Note that we're not yet a full-featured web survey tool. We recommend Google Forms or Wufoo if we're missing something you need. Our core strength is live audiences, real-time speed, and visualizations.
Customers on certain paid plans can use the profanity filter and moderation feature. You can either set a profanity filter to censor and replace profanity with asterisks, or you can set the filter to reject messages and prevent them from being displayed. Be forewarned: Vulgar humans are always more creative than the smartest technology. We usually suggest the moderation feature over automatic censoring. This feature allows you to review incoming questions one-by-one and approve only the best.
Remember, "there's no such thing as a stupid question"? They lied. There are indeed stupid questions. You can use moderation to prevent soapboxing and focus on the most insightful submission that your audience wants to hear you talk about.
There are two response modes: presenter session and keyword. Each mode has its own response formats.
Presenter session keywords are pre-assigned, based on the format you select when creating a poll (i.e. A, B, C vs 1, 2, 3). They are typically a single letter or number, or common response terms like True/False, Yes/No, etc. Your participants will first join your presenter session by texting your username to the number listed in the poll instructions (22333 in the US). Then they will enter a response. After that, they can continue to send responses to your polls without typing your username.
Alternately, in keyword mode, auto-generated codes can be assigned to each response option, so that responses are logged to your account accurately. The codes are 5 to 6 digit numbers. Your participants will not need to join your polling session in order to respond, if you use the auto-generated codes.
These response modes allow Poll Everywhere to host multiple polls on one short code. Short codes are expensive, so the presenter session method helps us keep our prices down. If you don't want the automatically-assigned keywords for your responses, you can upgrade to a plan that allows you to select custom keywords, like MICROSOFT or OPTION5.
Note: We always show response keywords in bold capital letters for clarity, but the audience can use upper or lowercase when they respond.
Polls are unlocked by default when you create them. You can lock a poll if you want to stop allowing responses. Lock the poll by clicking the padlock icon.
If 30 days pass without any modification or any responses to the poll, we will automatically lock the poll. You can see which polls are about to be locked in your My Polls list.
Polls are automatically locked after 30 days of inactivity. If you need more time, just lock the poll manually and unlock it again.
Now let's talk about keywords and when they might be automatically released. If you're allowing your audience to respond using text messages or Twitter, "keywords" are what they will actually text or tweet. By default your questions use a presenter session where your audience will first submit your (customizable) username to join your session. With presenter sessions your keywords don't expire and you don't need to worry about this. In some situations, however, you may decide that it's critical for your audience to skip the username step. This is when you would configure a question to use reserved keywords or auto-generated codes. Because these are a limited system-wide resource, they will be released (unassigned) from your question 30 days after the poll has been locked.
Absolutely! These five ways give you the flexibility to fit every situation.
Yep. If you've enabled Twitter as a way to respond to a poll, then tweets that mention @poll and a reserved keyword are treated the same as text message responses to the number listed on the poll.
After someone Tweets to your poll, @poll replies back to them:
To allow Twitter responses in presenter session mode, you must link your Twitter account. Participants will tweet responses directly to your own Twitter handle. Poll Everywhere never sends replies to these tweets.
More information can be found in the User Guide.
While the vast majority of people will have a phone in most situations, there are always reasons why someone may not have a phone, such as:
In any of these cases, we recommend events consider the use of pre-paid cellphones for purchase or rent. Check out Cellhire (in the US) or to buy pre-paid phones, consider any of the major carriers which offer pre-paid phone plans. For example, T-Mobile offers pre-paid plans. On the more sophisticated (and expensive end of things), you can rent or buy a few iPod Touches (with wi-fi) from a few vendors. There are even A/V companies who will rent iPads as well, which are becoming very popular for some events.
Typically a response will be displayed within 2-5 seconds. The delay depends on the participant's cellular carrier and how long it takes to route an SMS message to our SMS gateway, web servers, and finally on to live polls wherever they are being viewed. Poll Everywhere has handled very large events with thousands of responses, and multi-day polls with hundreds of thousands of responses.
If you would ever like to know the average latency of a response being received and displayed by Poll Everywhere, check out the status page: Status Page
Web and smartphone responses are instant, and Twitter responses are as fast as Twitter is operating.
Most of our users setup their polls to allow a person to participate only once. If that's the case, then generally you should purchase a plan with an "audience size" greater than the number of people that will respond. The "audience size" is the maximum number of responses that can be received by any given poll (the number of polls you can create is unlimited). We've handled much larger polls than shown on our plans page; just give us a call at +1 (800) 388-2039.
The simple instructions are displayed on every Poll. It helps if you provide verbal cues to your audience during the first few polls. For live events, organizers can supplement the on-screen instructions with printed instructions in an event pamphlet. After the first poll, everyone usually gets the hang of it and you can present the next polls at a faster pace. We've created many helpful communication materials for you here.
If you want to improve poll participation, it is helpful to project your ongoing presentation on one screen, and your poll on another (that's two projectors and two separate screens). This gives the audience the convenience of responding whenever they choose.
Take a few minutes for each poll, guide the audience, and then continue your presentation. You can also show the audience the poll on one slide and then continue the presentation and come back when more results have been tallied.
If remote participants will be joining in live, you can ask them to respond via the website. Open your poll, and in the "How people can respond" panel, check off the "Website" option. When participants go to the address listed on the poll, they will see the poll that is currently active, and can respond to each poll in your session along with everyone else.
If you want to allow participants to respond on their own time, you can share a permalink to your poll. Click the "Present" panel, and click the tab labeled "Share". You have the option to get a "Sharable response link", a "Live results link", or the option to embed the poll into your website or blog.
There are many ways. Most people will project our live poll views in front of their audience. This also works for webcasts.
When you are viewing your poll on our website, you can send that web address (URL) to people. They will only see your summarized poll results in a graph and not the controls on the right hand side.
You can also use the Poll Everywhere web results widget to embed poll results in your blog or website. Of course you can also download the poll results as a spreadsheet and share that file with people.
Your poll's question (but not its results/responses) is indexed by search engines unless you disable this setting in the Settings tab. With "Keep all of my polls private" checked, your polls are private unless you share the the secret poll URL (web link) with others, or embed the poll widget in a website. When you share the poll's URL, only the poll's owner can see the controls on the right, view the detailed results, or correlate answers between polls.
We encourage you to keep your poll questions public, and draw inspiration from browsing everyone else's public questions as well.
When viewing a poll click the paintbrush icon at the upper right labeled "Visual Settings." A panel will appear with several options to change the colors, background, font sizes, logo, and more.
When you've styled one poll to look just right, you can set all future polls to default to the same style by setting it as the template poll in the Settings tab. You can also apply its style to your existing polls.
Let's say you've purchased a plan that includes 250 responses per poll. The 251st participant (assuming you haven't cleared your poll) will get a message back saying, "This poll is full and cannot accept more responses". We cannot disable this message; we believe the audience members should be informed if their voice was not heard.
There are two ways: you can either use the reports tab, or have your participants pre-register.
Customers on any paid plan can use the Reports tab. The Reports tab lets you match up a participant's answers across multiple polls. For example, make a free text poll that asks participants to submit their name, a student ID, a pseudonym, their cell phone number, or any other identifying information. Then ask other multiple choice or free text questions as usual. By adding the identifying free text poll and any other polls to a report, you will see how each person answered each question. The 'participant response history' report is particularly useful for this.
Registering Participants is a better fit for repeat audiences such as K-12 schools and Universities. You invite participants (students) by email, or distribute your registration link. They verify their mobile phone number and create a participant login for Poll Everywhere. This way you can see who answered no matter what the device they use (laptop, smartphone, text message). Account administrators can invite participants to register under the Account tab.
Each poll lets you select whether people can use text messages, smartphones and web browsers, or Twitter (or any combination) to participate.
Even better, you can have your audience or class members pre-register as participants, and restrict your poll to only allow registered participants to respond. This feature is available on certain paid plans. This setting can be found under the poll's 'Response settings' menu.
Absolutely, by using the premium Segmentation feature.
First you ask your audience to identify the team or group that they are on. Then ask other questions and compare the results across each team. Combined with grading feature, you can also keep score, too. Learn more here and enjoy our fabulous video featuring the magnificent Honey Badger.
You can grade responses with any paid plan. This is popular for professors, instructors, and teachers, and works well for corporate training workshops, too. First, create a new multiple choice poll (grading only works for multiple choice polls). Next, edit the poll and check off the box "Grade incoming responses" in the upper-right. This will enable new checkboxes under each option you enter on the poll. You can then mark one or more response options as correct.
Once a few responses have been received, you can run reports to get a graded view of the results, like this:
Click here to learn more and watch a fun-filled, Animal Farm themed video. It's all the rage!
Click the free text poll's visual settings gear icon, and navigate to the "Messages" tab. You'll see a checkbox to "Show: Participants".
Web responses will show a partial IP address. Text message responses will display the last 4 digits of the mobile number. Twitter responses will display the twitter handle and picture.
Although you can login using a username instead of an email address, we currently still require an email address when you register.
For young students who might not have an email, we suggest you make them up. It's simple to create one email address that can act like hundreds by using the plus sign. In the event of a forgotten password, you can reset it for students from your list of registered participants. For example:
We have a section in the User Guide dedicated to helping you understand and test international coverage in your country.
One common question we get is, "I'm organizing an event in country A. People will be attending from countries A, B, C, and D. Will everybody be able to participate via text message?" This is a tricky situation, and our answer is, "Maybe - but the only way to know is to test it first." The reason we cannot give a single answer is because it depends on many factors like the home carrier, the host carrier, and the specific global roaming agreements.
For example, at one California, USA event, people from Japan were able to text the US-based 5 digit number, people from the UK on certain carriers could respond by texting back to Poll Everywhere's London-based number, and some participants from France couldn't seem to respond via SMS at all.
As the organizer, you should provide all the relevant phone numbers from our list and also consider several viable backup options. For example, you can rent cheap pre-paid US phones capable of texting, or if there's WiFi, international participants can use PollEv.com or your personal presenter page from any smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other web-enabled device.
As a special case for mixed US/Canadian audiences, if 37607 isn't working for everyone, our 10-digit backup number will probably work for everyone. That number is (747) 444-3548.
No, participants will never receive any kind of spam. They may receive a text message confirmation that their message was received. (Turn confirmation messages on/off in the Response Settings section.) Although results are stored by Poll Everywhere to show the number of responses, no participant will receive unsolicited text messages in the future as a result of participating in a Poll Everywhere poll. Participants' phone numbers are never shared with poll creators or third parties of any kind. This is more thoroughly spelled out in our privacy policy.
That number is not a normal telephone number and it definitely does not charge anyone to send/receive messages to it (don't worry, we're not a scammy 1-900 company). It is called a "short code" in the telecommunications world and it is basically a special number used specifically for text messaging. That number is set by the company that provides our text messaging gateway, which is how we receive participant text messages into Poll Everywhere. If your audience is curious, just tell them not to worry. It is not a toll number and it will not bill anything besides standard rate text messages to a participant's mobile phone bill. Standard rate text messages in the US usually range from free or $0.01 per message up to $0.20 per message for people who do not have a text messaging plan. Check with your mobile carrier for current pricing.
Text STOP to 22333. We will also respect UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT, END, and CANCEL. We will respond with the following message:
Text START to 22333 to re-enable confirmations.
Text HELP to 22333. We will respond with the following message:
Unfortunately, no you can't remove the SMS footer and neither can we. We must adhere to the Mobile Marketing Association Best Practices, and this includes clearly identifying what service or company is responsible for sending an SMS message.
This usually means you have texting to shortcodes disabled for your specific cell phone subscription plan with your carrier. Usually, calling your carrier's customer service (611) and making sure texting to shortcodes is enabled takes care of the problem. We tend to see it more frequently on a very small percentage of Sprint customers. You can also reach Sprint here.
If you have tried the above and it still will not work, you (or students or audience members who have this issue) may text in your responses to our backup 10-digit number: (747) 444-3548. Please note that this number is to be used sparingly and only by those who cannot otherwise text to the US-based shortcodes we offer. Also, you will not receive reply messages from this number.
The other potential cause is that you're on a small regional mobile carrier we don't currently support. The backup number (747) 444-3548 is confirmed working for any of these possible exceptions.
These products don't work with short codes like 22333 or 37607, but you can text to our 10-digit response number, (747) 444-3548, instead.
Note that you won't receive confirmation messages from this phone number, but your responses will still be received.
If you're using reserved keywords, it is very likely a typo from someone, somewhere in the world, trying to respond to some other poll with a similar reserved keyword. Reserved keywords are in use all around the world, all the time. This means that just like when someone dials the wrong number on the phone, someone may accidentally text your reserved keyword as they try to respond to some other poll. Usually, this happens because of typos. Say one of your polls (Poll A) has reserved the keyword 'HOUSE', and another person, on their poll (Poll B), has reserved the keyword 'HOUSES'. If people happen to be responding on Poll B, someone might accidentally type 'house' instead of 'houses', and it will pop up on your poll. Some ways to combat this are:
The presenter may have moved on to another poll just before you sent your response. If the presenter activates a different poll in the same presenter session before your response to the first poll is sent, and the current poll allows the type of response you chose, your response will end up in the poll that is currently active.
For example, if the first poll contains multiple choice responses like A, B, and C, you might respond by texting "A". However, if the presenter moves on to the next poll before your response is received, and that poll also allows "A", then your response will go to the active poll.
One other possible cause could be that you have not joined the correct presenter session. To stop responding to a presenter's polls, text LEAVE. Then join the correct presenter session by texting that presenter's username to the SMS number.
First, it's important to check for typos in either the phone number you're texting to, or the keyword you meant to type (damn you autocorrect!).
If you are responding to a free text poll, you may be exceeding the character limit of your SMS text message (typically 160 characters in the US, and 130 in other countries). Most cell phones will send a message that is over the max as two separate texts. When we receive the second text, it doesn't begin with the same keyword, and we can't tell what to do with it.
If you are texting from Canada make sure you are using the Canadian shortcode 37607. You can change your text message coverage area by changing the International Text Message Coverage Area from the settings page.
YES! Simply put a space between each response and send them all in the same text message. This works when responding multiple times to the same poll or to several different polls (when using reserved keywords / codes).
Try it out by visiting our home page and texting "LION LION TURTLE" (without the quotes) to the number shown. You should see the graph update within a few seconds.
You can't use this feature to respond multiple times to a free text poll. When you respond to a free text poll, everything after the reserved keyword is recorded as the response, instead of as additional reserved keywords. That said, you can respond to several multiple choice polls as well as one free text poll with a single text message, as long as the free text poll's reserved keyword comes last. For example, "MCPKEYWORD1 MCPKEYWORD2 FTPKEYWORD my free text response" would work, but "MCPKEYWORD1 FTPKEYWORD my free text response MCPKEYWORD2" would not because "MCPKEYWORD2" would be treated as part of your response to the free text poll.
No, we will NOT count any data you import from Google Moderator against your account limits. For example, you import a question with 50 responses. You select our Free Business account, which allows 25 responses per question. Your question can receive 25 additional responses before it reaches your response limit. So you will hit your limit only when you have 75 responses.
Note: Upvotes and downvotes are unlimited.
Series and responses will arrive safely, but Google Moderator does not export responses to responses.
Poll Everywhere is primarily built for use in live events, so our users typically gather feedback for one question at a time.
If you would like to collect feedback for multiple questions at the same time-- let's say three for our example. Create a separate Poll Everywhere account for each question you want to keep open and active at the same time. In our example, you would create three accounts. Each account will have its own unique response page to which you can direct your audience.
Even if you're only using Poll Everywhere for a single poll on a single day, you still have to purchase a subscription for at least 30 calendar days. When the event is over, you would downgrade back to the Free plan. If the plan continues beyond 30 calendar days, you are still responsible for any account charges, even if you do not use the service. There are a lot of boring reasons for this. Essentially, it's cheap for us to just give you the rest of the month, so we do. In addition, most people prefer to have all the premium features available for testing well before their event. Our average customer support effort doesn't differ much for one-time-event users and recurring users. We don't know anyone else providing this kind of service for less money, so we say: enjoy your month. Please note that with any of our subscription plans, you must change your account back to a Free plan when you are done with it. Unused or forgotten service will not be refunded or credited.
Our basic plan is free. It allows an unlimited number of polls, and up to 25 responses per poll. The free plan includes really great features: Live PowerPoint polls, web responding, widgets, Twitter, downloadable results, and more. Check out our paid plans if you need advanced features or have an audience larger than 25.
The K-12 and Higher Ed plans will be less expensive than our normal monthly plans if you can commit to a semester or year-long purchase. If you're not ready for that, stick with our Business and Non-Profit pricing.
We've tried to make our free plan useful for K-12 educators. If you teach the same subject multiple times per day, remember that you can download the results and also clear any poll to reuse it with a different class. Comparing the multiple runs is a premium feature, available on our cheapest plans.
Your month will start the day you upgrade, and a month of service lasts for 30 calendar days, including the day you sign up. Keep in mind you can always view your next billing date from your order history page.
Please note that with any of our subscription plans, you must change your account back to a Free plan when you are done with it. This is effectively how you cancel your monthly paid subscription. You will not lose any of your data, such as polls or their results; however, you will not be able to access your archived runs, reports, or participant data until you upgrade to a paid plan. Unused or forgotten service will not be refunded or credited.
We accept purchase orders for plans that are $500 or more. View purchase order information to learn more.
Poll Everywhere does not charge anyone for responding to a poll. However, individual wireless carriers may charge standard text message charges, which vary depending on the wireless carrier and any messaging package selected (typically $0.01 to $0.20 per message, but check with your mobile carrier for current pricing).
Not really. There is standard text messaging costs for participants, but this cost is nominal even if they lack a text messaging plan. For cases where people may be responding a lot over a long period of time (e.g. students), we recommend participants add an unlimited text messaging plan through the mobile phone provider. We've also found that many cellular plans already include basic text messaging for free and in some cases unlimited text messaging at no additional cost.
Another great alternative for frequent participants who have smartphones - bypass SMS text messaging completely by using our smartphone web response feature, or by using Twitter to participate.
No, that's the purpose behind our Free plan. Our investment in that offering is already a large expense and we are not able to accommodate requests for additional free services, even for one-time purposes. The best thing to do for a one-time poll or one-time event or to use Poll Everywhere as a demo, you need to purchase a plan which will accommodate the features your need and/or your audience size.
We believe in giving back and good causes. We also want to be used in front of certain audiences that might be full of potential customers, such as a conference for professional presenters. To achieve this, we proactively seek out the charities we're passionate about and the conferences we wish to sponsor. We've donated many thousands of dollars worth of service.
Unfortunately that means we're very unlikely to be able to sponsor your particular event. Instead, we suggest you find a sponsor in the local community who would like to "power the live voting". Put their logo on your poll slides and thank them during your event. There's no need to mention us. Let your sponsor take the credit for powering the great technology.
Our goal is to give all K-12 educators the ability to use our free version, regardless of class size or overcrowding. The free plans currently let you use Poll Everywhere with any 40 students at a given time. If you have more than this in your classroom, please email us and explain the situation so we can accommodate you.
Note that this promise is for the number of physical seats in a single classroom. It doesn't cover combined classrooms (e.g. 60 at a time) or school-wide polls. The non-profit monthly plans are your best bet for that.
Middle and secondary educators can still easily use Poll Everywhere for free with multiple sections. Just create copies of your polls, or clear your polls to archive off the results between runs.
This is called "Premium SMS" and this is the shady underbelly of the text messaging world. There's dumb services like "sexy texts" or "joke of the day" or "$1 per response". We don't mess with it. Besides, the carriers take over 50 cents of every dollar collected.
If you are trying to collect money towards a legitimate cause, you can use our Free Text Polls to collect pledges and solicit contact information follow-up pledges or donations.
Just head over to https://www.polleverywhere.com/orders
It's really easy - make sure you are logged in just go to the plans page and click "Downgrade" under the Free plan. You won't be charged again, and you will not lose any of your data, such as polls or their results.
Unfortunately no. By our terms of service, we do not allow refunds for unused service. We really sympathize with the rare situation when a customer forgets to downgrade, but let us explain what's going on. It's kind of like a mail order subscription for frozen steaks. No, our service isn't perishable :), but one reason they have a no-refund policy is because the mail order company can't get a refund themselves from the beef supplier, even if you were to return a perfect uneaten frozen steak. At Poll Everywhere, we pre-purchase non-refundable monthly service capacity in the form of text messaging throughput and server capacity on your behalf. We rely on you downgrading (and try to make it a simple no-fuss process) so we know how to size our purchases correctly and ensure a reliable, speedy system for all customers.
If you think you might forget to downgrade, you can enable an email reminder from us when you upgrade and we will send a notification email 2 days before your next billing date. You can always check your billing status and next billing date in your Account summary.
Through our multi-user plans, it is possible to add other people to your account. This allows you to share the resources of a single account with many people. For example, if you have an entire school and want to share Poll Everywhere with all faculty or staff, you can add them as users. Each plan we offer provides a maximum number of users that you may add to a single account. See our plans for the details on maximum users per plan and pricing information.
To learn how to add sub-users to your account and learn more about the feature itself, read here for more information and a video.
Upon upgrading or downgrading between paid plans, we start a new 30 day billing period for the new plan. The pro-rated remainder of your current 30 day plan will be subtracted from the cost of the new plan. Please note this process will never result in a refund, when downgrading.
For example, if you're halfway into a $199 plan, and you upgrade to a $499 plan, we prorate the $199 to $99.50, subtract that amount from $499, and immediately bill your account $399.50.
Yes! First, make sure to install the PollEv Presenter Add-in. On the Poll Everywhere ribbon in PowerPoint, log in, then click "Insert Poll Slides". Now press F5 in PowerPoint to start the presentation, and you should see your poll embedded seamlessly into your presentation.
More detailed information for both Windows and Mac can be found in the User Guide.
Yes! Click the 'Response History' link in the 'Views' panel. There is a link on the right to download a spreadsheet version. This file is in Comma-Separated Values format (.CSV) format, which can be opened by any spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, or Google Spreadsheets.
Your poll can receive responses even when you do not have a live internet connection but to display the poll or view results in real time, the presenting computer must have an internet connection. Your audience will need to have a mobile phone signal to respond, but texting works reliably with even the lowest signal levels.
Poll Everywhere works on most popular web browsers. We are compatible with both PCs and Macs. We recommend using any of the following:
If you want to build new poll visualizations or integrate real-time responding into your applications, head over to https://www.polleverywhere.com/api to learn about our RESTful API. There's also some other (write) APIs that we only expose after approval.
This is usually a concern for Multiple Choice Voting when a winner is being chosen, or for grading. First, we should point out that "spoofing" or "faking" an SMS text message is nearly impossible. We've never seen it done. If you don't enable "people may respond more than once" and only select "Text messages" under "How People Can Respond" (both are the default), your poll is very secure.
If you choose to enable "Smartphones via PollEv.com", or "Web widget" (which includes linking straight to your poll's web response page), there is a chance a reasonably technical person could find a way to submit multiple responses, even if you've disabled that option. This is a tradeoff where we chose simplicity over security. If you need to limit who can respond (and remove this potential for ballot stuffing), you can use our registered participants feature.
Sure. Just copy-paste a long list of polls into our poll creator. We'll create them in the background while you work.
Your import source text should be one poll per line. Most formats will work. For example, "What's up?" would be imported as a free text poll, and "Choose: A, B, C" and "Perfect? True or False" would be imported as Multiple Choice Polls. Be sure to set a template poll if you'd like them imported with default options such as a color theme or poll behaviors and settings.See a quick demo .
Yes, if you have your own short code and want to use it, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yes! Our PollEv Presenter app can display any of your polls in Microsoft PowerPoint 2011 for Mac, Microsoft PowerPoint 2008 for Mac, Keynote 5.3, and Keynote 6.5. It's smart enough that you don't have to do any weird clicking in the middle of your presentation. Just advance slides like you always do, and when we detect a poll URL in your slide's presenter notes, we'll show that poll. We'll also hide it when you move on. It's almost like your poll is just another object on your slide.
As a fallback, remember that you can always project your poll straight from the web and switch into fullscreen mode.
We have found some unofficial support of embedding polls in OpenOffice Impress but it requires a little work. Read here and if that does not suit your needs, you can still display your poll from a web browser on a projector and switch your poll into fullscreen mode to occupy the entire screen. This is not officially supported by Poll Everywhere so we can't help you if things don't go right but it may work.
Technical support by email or by phone is available on some plans. Check your plan for what kind of support you have. If you're just on a Free plan, you're on your own for support; use this FAQ.
Regardless of any plan, we also offer various levels of paid or dedicated support, even support for outside business hours or having someone from Poll Everywhere physically present at your event to assist you. Check those support options here.
Sometimes we can accomodate you through a custom solution which we quote separately from any plans sold through the website. Read more about Poll Everywhere custom solutions.
First, be sure you have installed the PollEv Presenter App and that you're in PowerPoint's fullscreen presentation mode (shortcut key: F5). Polls do not display in PowerPoint's slide editing view. If you're having other difficulties, please see our blog post for the solution
When you interact with an object embedded in PowerPoint, your keyboard and mouse commands will be directed at the embedded object. So, in order to return "control" to the presentation, you'll need to click outside of the embedded poll somewhere on the slide. This will return control to your presentation and allow you to advance the slideshow. Make sure to leave some space on the slide to click outside of the embedded poll object, when creating your presentation.
This is often caused by Internet Explorer's Compatibility View. Try turning off Compatibility View and loading a poll. If this doesn't fix the issue, send us an email
First, let's make sure Poll Everywhere is operating normally. Check out status.polleverywhere.com.
Make sure your question is not locked. When viewing that individual question, the padlock icon should be grey, meaning it is not locked.
If you're on the Polls list, locked questions have a small padlock icon on the far right.
If you're using presenter sessions, which is our default, your audience needs to text or tweet your username first to join your session. Then their responses will be routed to whichever poll is active (only one can be active at a time). When your mouse is in the upper-right corner of a question, you can see the "Activate" button. Be sure it's highlighted in blue, not grey.
If you have reached the maximum number of responses allowed per poll, you will need to either clear the results of your question or purchase a higher response plan. The "How-to-respond" area, right under the question's title, will indicate if the poll is full.
If this is an open-response question, make sure that the moderation feature is not accidentally enabled.
Make sure you have the proper country's phone number displayed for texting. You can change your text message coverage area by going here: International Text Message Coverage Area
Your PollEv page will display the poll you have currently activated from the Mobile Presenter App or website. Make sure you have manually set the poll you would like to display.
In PowerPoint or from the PollEv Presenter app this response method is meant to be used in a "live" application; it will stay in sync with whatever poll you have on screen and update automatically.
For the pollev page to follow along when you're presenting from PowerPoint make sure you are logged in. While in slideshow mode (F5), hover your mouse over the upper right hand corner of the poll to display the controls. Under the visual settings toggle (gear icon) you should see a blue log in prompt at the top of the menu. Log in with your email or username and password.
By default, a participant can only respond to a multiple choice poll once. We don't limit how many times participants can contribute to open response polls. You can change the settings on any poll to allow an unlimited number of responses per participant, or set the poll to allow a specific number of responses per participant.
To change the number of times a participant can respond to a poll, open the poll you would like to change. On the right, click the "Response settings" header and enter the number of times each person may respond.
No. Simply log in to your account first (you can reset your password if you forgot it) and then click the participant registration link your instructor has distributed.
Your instructor will usually share a registration link. They might send it by email, include it in the syllabus, or post it on a class web page. It usually looks something like "polleverywhere.com/register?p=0123-abcd".
You can also register by signing in to your account and accessing your registrations page. There you can search for your instructor by their email address.
If you don't have a registration link and you can't seem to find an instructor by their email address, you'll need to contact your instructor for help.
Your instructor can always see your email address, but sometimes they'll also want you to provide a username, login, or other student ID.
If you need to add this, sign in and go to your registrations page. Click the "Details" link under the appropriate university, department, or instructor, and enter an alternate identifier.
Unless your instructor is running an anonymous poll, your name and email will always be available to them next to your answers. If you provide an alternate identifier, they can also see that.
Your full phone number is never shared with them, but in some reports they can see the last 4 digits of your phone number. This serves two important purposes:
No. You will only have to pay the annual cost once to be able to register on any number of accounts.
This usually means you have texting to shortcodes disabled for your your specific cell phone subscription plan with your mobile carrier. Usually, calling your carrier's customer service (611) and making sure texting to shortcodes is enabled takes care of the problem.
The other potential cause is that you're on a small regional mobile carrier we don't currently support (for example, Appalachian Wireless).
If you cannot enable shortcode support, you may text in your responses to our backup 10-digit number: (747) 444-3548. Please note that this number is to be used sparingly and only by those who cannot otherwise text to the US-based shortcodes we offer. You will not receive confirmation reply messages from this number.
Keep in mind that to certify your phone number, you'll need to text to this backup number instead of the shortcode.
If your instructor requires you to register to participate (usually to see participation or attendance) and you are responding via text message instead of the web, you will need to certify your number so your instructor can identify your responses.
To certify your number log in and go to your Personal Info page under your account settings. Make sure to type in your mobile phone number and click the certify link. Follow the instructions to send your certification text message.
If you are responding with a web device, make sure you are signed in before responding to your instructor's polls.
If you are responding via text message, make sure you have certified your mobile number. Once you have certified your number your previous 'unregistered' responses will be tied to your account.
The presenter may have moved on to another poll just before you sent your response. If the presenter activates a different poll in the same presenter session before your response to the first poll is sent, and the current poll allows the type of response you chose, your response will end up in the poll that is currently active.
For example, if the first poll contains multiple choice responses like A, B, and C, you might respond by texting "A". However, if the presenter moves on to the next poll before your response is received, and that poll also allows "A", then your response will go to the active poll.
One other possible cause could be that you have not joined the correct presenter session. To stop responding to a presenter's polls, text LEAVE. Then join the correct presenter session by texting that presenter's username to the SMS number.

MADISON, Wis. -- The second day of the Mt. SAC Relays opened with a seventh-place performance in the pole vault by freshman Courtney Walden for the Wisconsin women's track and field team in Walnut, Calif.
Walden cleared a personal-best height of 12 feet, 1 1/2 inches to match the No. 6 performance in Wisconsin history.
In the triple jump, senior Jordan Helgren placed third with a leap of 39 feet, 2 1/2 inches.
Senior Monika Jakutyte jumped for the third-highest clearance in the competition to take sixth place, getting over the bar at 5-8 3/4.
On the track, junior Brittney Harper ran the 800 meters with a field of 90 athletes to take 28th place. Harper ran a career-best time of 2 minutes, 8.79 seconds.
In the 5,000 meters, senior Kyla Chapman ran a personal-best time of 16:46.10 to take 12th in the event.
Wisconsin also competed in the Bryan Clay Invitational hosted by Azusa Pacific in nearby Azusa, Calif.
Two Badgers had top-30 finishes in a 79-athlete field in the 1,500 meters.
Senior Megan Beers took 12th with a time of 4:36.30 and sophomore Lavinia Jurkiewicz followed in 28th at 4:42.85.

"F*ck it."
Residents of the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn should be prepared to see Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom popping up on their Netflix Local Favorites. It's been revealed that Charlie Kaufman was brought in to fix up the animated flick's script. That's right. The man who wrote Adaptation also took a gig on a movie about a kung fu kicking panda. If you listen closely, you can hear Robert McKee laughing his nuts off.
It's not uncommon for several writers to pitch in on a studio film and remain uncredited. Especially an animated one. Kaufman is reported to have only polished the material, so it's doubtful we'll notice his handiwork. But keep an eye out for uncharacteristically cerebal fart jokes when the movie opens in June of 2011. (THR)

|Bumgarner Drops Second Straight
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Thursday, 17 May 2012 16:25
Life is like a pendulum. One day, you're living the high life, and the next, everything turns upside down. Well, Madison Bumgarner of the San Francisco Giants is feeling the affects in his last two starts. The left hander, who recently signed a five-year extention for a guaranteed $35 million dollars, was one of the hottest pitchers in the National League. He was riding
a five-game winning streak with a 1.20 earned-run-average. And in an instant, he's lost his last two outings, and he's given up 8 earned runs during that stretch.
