If FlashMeeting 2 isn't the bee's
knees, then I don't know what is. The replay capability, shown on the
right, is actually described separately on the CNM Memo
page, but is part of the same technology family.
Other super-cool features, not yet widely available, include the
ability for me to 'quick-book' just-in-time meetings directly via a
chatbot, handily available on my Jabber buddy list... neato! One-line
command (indeed one-word command) does the trick, and then I've got a
URL I can broadcast to my buddies to join the meeting with one click:
no downloads, no installation, no setup, and way simpler than Breeze-y
stuff, though based on the same underlying technology.
Congrats to Jon Linney and Kevin Quick on Peter Scott's awesome
team!

pay off for Big Blue?

The Problem with Web Polls
The Problem with Web Polls
01/24/2004 10:36 PMGay Marriage Poll
Gets Annulled: Here's a example of why Web polls are silly. The
American Family Association put a
poll on their Web site asking people if they were opposed to or in
favor of gay marriage with ultimate plans to take the results to
Congress. Of course, they assumed that with their sympathetic visitor
base, they'd have great results. Sadly:
Against the wishes of the AFA and its members, the poll
leaked to the outside. And soon, people like Gabe Anderson began
posting it to blogs, social-networking sites such as Friendster and
sundry e-mail lists. When Anderson posted it to his blog on Dec. 18,
2003, the anti-gay-marriage position was leading, with 51.45 percent
of respondents opposing gay marriage or civil unions.
But with his posting, in which he alerted his readers to the poll,
Anderson — and many like him — began to unleash the
democratic power that the Internet promises, and which organizations
like the AFA must have forgotten: the ability to bring people together
to fight for, or against, a cause.
You have to wonder why the AFA would do this in the first place.
Web polls are not even remotely scientific, so what results did they
plan to take to Congress? Incredibly biased ones?
This reminds me of something that
happened with Microsoft two years ago. There was a poll by ZDNet
about which platform was better: J2EE or .Net. .Net was trailing,
until...
Only 21.5 percent said they planned to use Microsoft
.Net--even less than the figure (23.5 percent) planning to use
neither. But by the time the poll closed, on January 5, the results
had dramatically changed, with three quarters of voters claiming to be
implementing .Net.
Sadly, there was a clear trail of an email campaign.
Several of the voters evidently followed a link contained
in an e-mail, the subject line of which ran: "PLEASE STOP AND VOTE FOR
.NET!" ZDNet logs include the Web address from where the e-mails were
sent and showed that the people who followed that link all had e-mail
addresses in the microsoft.com domain.
It got worse. ZDNet claimed to have proof of bots voting multiple
times, and people casting multiple votes.
These things are obviously bad, but is there any problem with the
email campaigns in either case? Companies put these things on the Web
to get input, and can they realy complain about world-of-mouth. It's
anyone's right to email anyone about something they think they'd be
interested in. The problem comes when there's a tipping point and the
results get irretrievably skewed.
Which leads me back to an important point: Web polls are of no use
to anyone. Period.
