Show of Hands is an informal polling platform and social networking platform developed for use on mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad and Android as well as on the Web. The term "show of hands" refers to the common voting method used in situations where a blind ballot is not required and a facilitator will ask for a "show of hands" to swiftly reach a decision on a subject. ==Concept== Show of Hands creator, Tony Bacos, states that the inspiration for the creation of the application came from his children. He would frequently ask them "Would you rather...?" and thought it could be a fun and engaging application. Show of Hands requires users to open an account, but not to verify their information or give their real name. Voting is anonymous, however users may post their own thoughts on a poll in a separate "Discuss" section. There are three types of polls. The most common is the poll question with two possible responses to select. The second type of poll is the "picture poll" in which two images are provided, without any text, in which voters can select one. The third is the list poll in which a poll provides more than two possible responses. Results are broken down by sex, income level, age, political party and state. The political party section was broken down into Democrat, Republican, Independent and Libertarian. Polls are broken down into various categories, for example Education, Health, Humor, Politics, Spirituality and Featured User Polls. Users also have the option to "follow" other users and view their polls exclusive from the general public. Users have the ability to create their own two-answer text or picture polls, but not the list polls. User polls are initially only available to the creator's followers, but each follower has the ability to share the poll with their followers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Show of Hands (application)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
