Polls in Orkut Communities. New feature added in Orkut
By Arpit On Tuesday, March 27, 2007 At 5:55 PM
Orkut has launched a new feature of adding polls in Orkut communities.
Right now this poll feature is no available in all the Orkut communities.
Orkut says:
We're rolling out polls to some of the smaller communities in orkut first. Please note that it may take a week or two for the polls feature to be available in all communities.
Some of the features of Orkut polls are:
a) While voting in the poll, you can maintain your anonymity. You can choose to have public or anonymous vote. In both of the cases your vote will be counted in the poll. To vote anonymously, uncheck the box near 'My vote is currently visible to others'
b) Once created, you cannot edit your poll. You can delete your poll.
c) Community Owner or Moderators cannot edit your poll, but they can delete your poll. This will help in cleaning the spam polls in the community.
d)
Poll creator can restrict the voting to community members only.**
So Orkut, have given us again a chance to say 'We love Orkut'

I think voting is restricted to community members if the poll is created with that option, otherwise anyone can vote.
Correct me if I'm wrong
