New Polling Site—Qwanz.com!

I’m very pleased to announce that a polling site I’ve been working on is now live!

Qwanz is not exactly like a typical polling site. In fact, the best way to understand it is that polling sites are what people used because Qwanz didn’t exist. The site’s key feature is this: it gives users the tools to forward poll results to wherever they’ll do the most good. Outraged that Olympia Snowe now supports the health care bill? Once you fill out the survey, you can use Qwanz to contact her press secretary directly! Annoyed about the Guardian gag order? You can use Qwanz to tell Carter Ruck exactly what you think!

(Qwanz has just launched, so there are bound to be errors. Please feel free to send me any comments, criticisms, or suggestions—though it would be even better if you could create a Qwanz poll about them, instead!)

SMX East: Last Day!

One more day before the regular blog-posting schedule resumes. Meanwhile, I’ve written another SMX sum-up: Integrating SEO with PR, traditional marketing, IT, and more.

You may also want to check out some pieces by my fellow Blue Fountain Media SEO specialists, including Zack Sinkler’s SMX analytics session summary and Alhan Keser’s “How to be successful on Youtube.”
