John Boxall and Igor Faletski of約翰Boxall和伊戈爾的FaletskiHandi Mobility殘障移動(a local British Columbia company) are about to release （當地不列顛哥倫比亞省公司）即將發布Live Vote現場投票- a free SMS voting system similar to the one used in “American Idol”. -免費短信投票系統類似使用“美國偶像” 。
Live Vote was recently demonstrated at現場投票在最近表現 DemoCampVancouver , and was well received. ，並也受到了好評。I requested a beta invite a couple of days ago and have been playing with the service ever since.我請了一個測試邀請幾天前並一直在發揮的服務至今。
Creating new ‘polls’ is deadly simple.創建新的'民意調查'是致命的簡單。Just enter the question, the answers, and select how long you’d like the poll to run for.只需輸入問題，答案，並選擇多久您想投票競選。
Then users can text their answer - for free (not including any charges your mobile provider may have for sending SMS messages).然後，用戶可以自己回答的文字-免費（不包括任何費用您的移動服務提供商可能會發送短信） 。
Votes are displayed in near real-time.票都顯示在近實時。If you use a projector to display your results, the full-screen view is absolutely perfect (at least using Firefox on OS X).如果您使用的投影顯示您的結果，全屏幕的看法是絕對完美（至少在使用Firefox在OS X ） 。
John was kind enough to answer a few of my questions via email, so I managed to learn a bit more about the service than is currently revealed on their web site.約翰是實物足以回答幾個問題，我通過電子郵件，所以我設法了解一些更多的服務比目前發現他們的網站上。Yes, it will remain free.是的，這仍將是免費的。Yes, there will likely be a ‘pro’ version that has additional features.是的，有可能會是一個'親'版本，有更多的功能。Yes, they are looking to expand to additional countries, but are using Canada to test the feasibility before committing to anything bigger.是的，他們正在尋找擴大到其他國家，但使用的是加拿大的可行性試驗之前，任何大。There will be some restrictions on the free version - to stop large companies from using the system to conduct polls with thousands of users etc, but nothing too extreme.將有某些限制的免費版本-停止從大公司使用該系統進行民意調查與成千上萬的用戶等，但沒有過於極端。Live Vote will be publicly available on October 15th, 2007.現場投票將公開10月15日， 2007年。
Off the top of my head, I can think of a number of cool ways to use Live Vote.從頂部的我的頭，我能想到的一些很酷的方式使用Live表決。Letting the crowd decide the winner for karaoke contests, engaging your audience during presentations (just ask them to put the cells away after they text their answer), even getting the group to decide where to go for dinner.讓觀眾決定冠軍的卡拉OK大賽，讓你的聽眾在演講（只要求他們把細胞以外的文字後，他們的答案） ，即使獲得小組決定去什麼地方吃飯。Canada may not have MP3 downloads from Amazon (or iTunes), the ability to use Pandora or watch episodes of Lost from the ABC website, but at least we have Live Vote.加拿大可能無法從MP3下載亞馬遜（或iTunes ） ，能夠使用潘多拉或觀看節目的失落從美國廣播公司的網站，但至少我們已經現場投票。
We’re working on throwing a few more tricks in the bag - A big thing would be poll widgets - we think it would be very valuable if users could embed their polls into sites like YouTube videos!我們正致力於把一些技巧袋-大事情將調查工具-我們認為這將是非常寶貴的，如果用戶可以嵌入到他們的投票網站，如Y o uTube的視頻！
