Wepolls Is a social polling network launched on 1 May 2011 with $10,000 in angel investments.[3] It is also marketed as a polling tool for Reddit.

Features

Wepolls allows any user to create a poll and share it on other social media outlets, such as Facebook, Reddit, Google+, and StumbleUpon. Website developers can also embed a Wepolls poll into any HTML page, similar to products developed by PollDaddy.

On the Wepolls social network, users gather based around beliefs. The site has the ability for a user to follow other users (like Twitter) or friend them (like Facebook).

Content delivery on Wepolls uses a feature called a "roll." [4][5] The site's software suggests polls and comments to a user based on their voting patterns, and who they have friended or followed.

The use of a feature called the "blurb," users can also share videos, images, and websites.
