The last few tech conferences I've attended tried to use txt voting from mobile devices. They forgot to include the destination number on the instruction slide and just listed the voting codes. Everyone just shrugged and started scanning twitter. Voting was light and it was frustrating to wait.
We are looking forward to testing it out on other events, with higher voting rates. We tested monitoring mentions of popular twitter accounts and results were absolutely impressive. So if you have any good examples feel free to drop us an email andthewinneris@beyounic.com
The phone image makes me want to scroll the page, except there isn't anything to scroll to. Just a minor detail. I love the design of the voting pages, and I think the idea is executed well too. :)
I generally come read the comments on a post before visiting the linked page, I'd read your comment and still tried to scroll once I finally clicked through, it just says 'more down here' to my muscle memory.
The last one was amazing, we ran it by monitoring only mentions (as there was no official hashtag), and in 2 hours of execution we managed to get almost 31k votes :P It was pretty insane to follow it eheh
Services like this are particularly good for interaction or feedback in university lectures. Some professors are good at using it to test students in the auditorium to see how many understand the subject.
So my 'voter ID' is a Twitter account? This is a conspiracy by those with easy access to Twitter to silence the voices of those who can't easily obtain Twitter!

I like the design of your mobile contest lander, looks sharp

Given that these other general poll services seem to also cover it, not sure if the specificity is good but I think there is a market.
