42 Twitter Polls About People, Products And Everything
I am generally curious and over the last few years, I have been trying to consciously be more aware of my biases and have been trying to train to operate with as limited biases as possible. Thanks to twitter polls, we have the opportunity to get anonymous and generic feedback from a certain demographic segment on questions of our choice. So whenever a thought strikes me, I try to do a poll to get some sense and validate my sense.
In the last 8 months I ran a bunch of these generic polls on twitter. I share results of those polls in this post. The world changed so much in last two months, now I wonder if these polls were doing again, what would be the answers!
Disclaimer: These polls may not be representative of your user segments, so it can’t be used as a sole input for product and business decision making. However, it may be a good starting point for deeper research. Actually this is just a fun read :)
