Answery! Just kidding, but I am psyched to be pitching in to help the PollDaddy guys a bit. Via Fergus Burns, I met PollDaddy’s founder David Lenehan last summer. He asked for suggestions on how to grow from their already serious base of pollsters, and I suggested the MyBlogLog approach of making them shared social media. He got excited about it, built it, and talked me into chatting with him regularly via Skype starting a few weeks ago. In tying up the launch plan, we talked about how to best make people understand the possibilities of sorted, syndicated, and redistributable queries and responses. Y! Answers 17 million monthly uniques made that easy. David put out the news and the website overnight and got some nice ink from TechCrunch, Mashable, and these folks.

Demographics this precise aren’t easy. Do they really have assurances from their data providers of representative samples by gender?

Just finished watching Episode 4, which prequels this image. It’s as good a Tumblr “hello, world” post as any. Update: cool. it’s not obvious how to set a post title. Update2: It was the blog title I couldn’t set. Post titles don’t quite exist?
