Facebook Questions, interesting…

If you're a Facebooker like I am, you're likely noticing more things that look like "polls" in your stream.

It's the rollout of Facebook Questions, a very easy way for you or your organization to ask a question, give choices for answers and have that question answered.

Facebook Questions is a very simple and less clunky attempt at simple viral polling than some of the tradition Facebook polling apps.  It also spreads the question virally as those who answer the question have the question appear to their friends on their walls, prompting others to answer the question as well.

As a test, we at THP asked the Richmond "question of the day," who do you think will win the NCAA Basketball Tournament?  (Duh…)

This seems to be a great way for you as a person to expand your friend base, and a great way for companies and organizations to at least increase engagement numbers and at most to build their "like" base.

To add Facebook Questions to your arsenal, just go to Facebook.com/questions and follow along.

Have you tried Questions yet?  If so what do you think so far.
