Free alternative to Clickers

I just read about Dian Schaffhaiser's article in Campus Technology on using a web 2.0 application which takes poll from everywhere free up to 30 responses per question. Check this out - www.polleverywhere.com.

Users can text from their phones or go online to vote, and instantaneously, the results of the poll is displayed and charted. There are three types of polls you can create:

1. multiple choice - give voters choices to vote on, and display results on a chart
2. free text - allow voters to text in any information such as feedback or identification information
3. goal poll - allow voters to text in numbers and a thermometer will display results.  This is good for pledging and fundraising towards a goal.

Upgrade is available for polling more than 30 participants.  Of course, the different plans will offer more control for you to identify and monitor voting process. 

Here's an example of a choice poll I have created, and that I am embedding it in a webpage. I can also embed this to facebook and twitter, or share it via an email.  The coolest thing now is the new feature!!! Check this out -  http://blog.polleverywhere.com/tag/newfeatures to see how you can have your audiences sync to whatever polls you are looking at during your presentation and let them vote instantly.
