If you made up your mind on which tool you like better, please participate in the shootout-poll (i.e. “@hellp twittercensus #pollshootout“).

Here’s my don’t-be-to-biased side-by-side comparison of both [Constantly updated.]:

TC: quick, real-time personal polls among my friends/followers.

TP: comprehensive polls among all twitter folks.

Addresses to…

TC: your followers. Expect about 0-20 replies in 10 minutes.

TP: all twitterati. Expect about 50-1000 replies in 24 hours.

Let’s you create polls instantly…

TC: yes.

TP: no.

The author of the poll gets instant feedback, through all interfaces Twitter offers…

TC: yes.

TP: no.

Has a slightly complicated syntax to learn…

TC: yes.

TP: no.

Accepts polls with more than two choices…

TC: yes.

TP: no.

Uses Twitter as…

TC: interface for all its functions.

TP: promotion tool only.

Is technically…

TC: somewhat challenging and (unfortunately) error-prone.

TP: simple, 2-choice-only, but less interactive.

Has a name…

TC: that would fit perfectly to twittpoll.

TP: that would fit perfectly to twitter census.

So maybe both projects should exchange names and live peacefully side by side :)
