I used to do this thing.
It was called the #fridaypoll.
It was loved.
It was popular.
Then I killed it.
Blame divorce, work, lack of time, etc.
But guess what?
You guys kept asking me.
And bugging me.
And begging me.
It’s coming back.
Between now and Friday you need to get up to speed.
You need to read.
You need to learn how it is done.
#fridaypoll never dies.
The Friday Poll started with this. A very simple question to the twitterverse about which basic shape was everyone’s favourite. It got heated. People were talking symbolism and weaponry and immigration and religion. Triangles won. From that very random post on that very random day, the weekly Friday Poll was born.
People from all over the world got involved and every Friday the battle raged via Facebook, Twitter, G+ and the blog.
The poll was/is usually given to me by a friend or follower, and after non-scientific research, basically trial and error, typically the most popular polls are the most off beat ones.

This time around I won’t be able to re-tweet everything like I used to in the past because I will be at work work, unlike before when I was doing freelance work, but if you set up the #fridaypoll search you will be able to track it easily.
Remember, as always this is not a one person show – the more the merrier is absolutely the case when it comes to this. If you have any ideas for future Friday Polls or if you’d like to write a post for a future Friday Poll, please email me isnotabear@gmail.com or leave a comment below.
The #fridaypoll – it’s very.
It’s also very back.
