This is a fun idea! Here is a quick design suggestion. The actual voting page (http://shouldget.com/questions/17/votes/new http://shouldget.com/questions/17/votes/new) is the most important page so you should spend some more time on it. The design should guide users along a path. Right now, the description / voting box / comment box are all visually equal (see http://i43.tinypic.com/35bz5gm.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/35bz5gm.jpg). This is bad because users don't know what to do. Here are the decisions everyone is required to make before voting: - choose which box to check - should I visit that external link to apple? - oh wait, am I expected to explain my vote in this huge text box? - OK I'm ready, wait a minute, I don't even have to vote. I can just view results. I think this page should be optimized for gathering a vote. Get rid of all the other distractions. Without votes, none of the other features matter.

ccollins, Very much appreciate the feedback! - I add the external links to the product incase voters arent quite sure what each product is. For things like the iPad that are "well known" I agree, its extra and may be distracting, but if the question was about two different motherboards, as a voter I would probably need to look at a product page to make a informed vote. - I was hoping the "Optionally, explain why you voted the way you did" would let folks know it optional, but you do have a point in that many people dont "read" when on a page. I was hoping putting the comment box under the buttons and the arrow would help people realize its an option, but not required. - I have the just view results because I would (as a question asker) have people that don't have insight on the answer not vote rather than toss up a "bogus" vote just to see the results. That being said, i think you have some valid points in around optimizing the page. I really appreciate the feedback.
