So…Whaddyathink? Part 2

As a follow-up to last week’s post, I would like to share with you some quick tips on how you can vote and invite your friends to use the Whaddyathink? app.

So, how do you vote? There are two ways:

1) Click on the title of the app on the top left corner for the full view. Next, click the “Vote On Your Friends’ Polls” tab. Here you’ll see a list of polls, each identified by the profile picture of the person who created the poll, their name, and the question they are asking. Note: You can expand any of questions by clicking on it. To vote, simply click on the thumbs-up or thumbs-down icon. You can always change your answer, so you’ve got nothing to lose!

2) You can also vote from the comfort of your My Yahoo! page. In the small view of the app installed on your page, click the “Vote” tab. This will create a list just like the one described above in the full view, and you can browse your friends’ questions and vote in exactly the same way.

Another cool tip is that you can share this app with your friend by using the “Recommend this app to a friend” invite box and enlist their help in making important decisions. Voila! No more indecision.

If your friend is not yet a “connection” on Yahoo!, bounce over to profiles.yahoo.com, click the “Invite” link in the “connections” area on the right side of the page, and enter their email address. Once your friend has accepted the invite, their name will appear in the invite box of the Whaddyathink? app. Alternatively, you can just send your friend the direct link to the app.

Now, are you ready to create a custom poll and vote? Try it out and let us know what you think.
