I've been wanting an easy way to gauge opinions and ideas on a topic between a small group of friends/co-workers without creating accounts on a service.
For example, I want to ask "what are your thoughts on the new logo?" and have my co-workers leave comments and upvote/downvote each other's opinions.
Ideally, like a HN/Reddit-style upvote/downvote comment system where they could just type their name in and comment/vote.
- sevilo 13y agoHmm, just out of curiosity, what do you find not sufficient enough to support this with existing systems like facebook?
- danlev 13y agoOne of my main use cases are company email chains of 50 or so employees where I think it'd be annoying to send a link asking for everyone's opinion but requiring them to sign-up for a quick, one-time voting. For Facebook, not all of us are friends, and a few of them don't have Facebook, so it might seem a little rude to request that.
- sevilo 13y agoInteresting.. I've ran into similar situation before although it was not at a work environment, more like an email thread that contains ~30 friends to ask for opinions on some activity, and not everyone is facebook friends with each others. I do find email threads create "spams" for people who do not have as strong of an opinion on the topic, but it didn't seem annoying enough to piss anyone off. Are there something else that you really dislike about using the email chain itself to ask for opinion/suggestions?
