Remember “Questions,” the Facebook feature that allowed Page admins to survey opinions among their fans? Some claimed it was a great way to engage with the audience. But, despite that, Facebook suddenly removed the feature.
Well, we’re happy to announce that “questions” are back!

Facebook seems to be entering a period of nostalgia, looking back at the good stuff it used to do and bringing back better versions of some cool features it had removed in the past.

Polls have always been a great way to engage an audience, by asking them to choose between multiple answers to a simple question. They provide rare insight and are rather entertaining for users, essentially because they provide immediate feedback on what others have been answering.
Facebook must have realised that they were a good addition to the whole brand experience on its platform and “Polls” are now back!
Here is one we posted late last night:

As you can see, Polls are easy to embed on other websites as well, just like regular posts. And they remain fully functional too, as people can choose their answer, like, comment or share on the embedded post.

I personally think this is great news for publishers. Polls are an effective means to get readers more involved in the stories they read, and an even better way to get them to share what they read with their friends.
