Poll: How often should this site be updated?

In terms of posting frequency, this year has probably been the most unpredictable for Fanatic Live. I would blame this on me being busy with my studies, other Web sites, and having bit of a break.

The holiday season is always quiet here, this year is no different. I will be back in the second week of January for some more updates, but until then things will be even quieter while I spend some time away from my computer.

On that note, I am interested to hear some feedback on how often you expect or would like Fanatic Live be updated, as this may help me plan things out for 2007. The poll question for this is now up in the sidebar.

I would personally like to aim for 3-5 posts per week next year, but what I believe to be more important is the consistency of updating (ie. avoiding one post one week, ten posts the next).

Like the last poll, it’s good to hear people elaborate on their vote, please do so by leaving a comment to this post.

Thank you to everyone who visited, read, or commented here this year, it’s been a great 2006 and I greatly value your readership and support.

Who’s using Windows Live Messenger?

The first poll I have put up, Are you using Windows Live Messenger?, has come to a close. It ran a little longer than I originally planned (just over one month), but here are the results:

Are you using Windows Live Messenger?

  • Yes, I’m loving it. (59% | 382 Votes)
  • Yes, but I don’t see the point. (27% | 178 Votes)
  • No, I’m not really interested. (7% | 48 Votes)
  • No, but I might get it later. (4% | 23 Votes)
  • No, what is it? (3% | 19 Votes)

Total Votes: 650

Since this site focuses on Windows Live Messenger, it’s no surprise the results are in favour of going for yes. Altogether, 560 voters are using Windows Live Messenger, and only 90 aren’t using it.

Poll: Are you using Windows Live Messenger?

I’ve been wanting to add a poll feature to the site for some time now, so now with the WP-Polls plugin, I will be running regular polls.

You can find the poll in the sidebar, just after the syndication buttons. First question is Are you using Windows Live Messenger?

We already have 108 votes, with 86% of visitors using Windows Live Messenger, among them 28% are not entirely impressed with its new features and look. 14% of visitors are not using Windows Live Messenger, but doesn’t necessarily mean they’re “still” using MSN Messenger, it could just be they’re using a third party client — I never thought of this possibility when creating the poll.

I will post again soon with the results and a new poll. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, go ahead and vote!

If you want to elaborate on your vote, leave a comment for discussion.
