Twitter, Tik Tok, Snapchat and Pinterest may be big enough to deserve entries of their own.

@mariojacobs,

Although social interaction is a natural aspect of the IMDb Community, it is not intended as a social network. Likewise, social interaction is necessary for Wikipedia, but it was not intended as a social network.

From IMDb:

Welcome to the official IMDb Community - where you can ask questions, seek solutions, and share timely updates.

We encourage users to help each other get the most out of IMDb. Often the community provides answers and solutions faster than we can respond directly. 

The IMDb Poll board:

The IMDb Poll is an ongoing set of polls about movies and television. Each poll has a topic and a series of answers. You select an answer, and your vote is added to the people who voted likewise. During the poll, and afterwards you can see the tally to see how your answer conforms (or not) to others.

Please change "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."

and add a new title

"others" is winning,

what others?

I really have no clue.

I included the Chinese WeChat, Perhaps India has its Facebook version...

Well. I'm not on any of the named platforms. But I'm on Sprinklr (this site we are writing now) and IMDb. That are also social network platforms somehow, especially Sprinklr, where we write now. With the reviews and the content many people provide on IMDb it's also at least half of a social platform.

I corrected my choice to Twitter, because it's the only of them, I'm registered. But I usually don't use it. I just go there to read it, when a news which triggers me arrives - and that's seldom. And I also don't write on that platform. But it's the most axiomatic to vote, if I shouldn't pick 'The Others'.

@mariojacobs Perhaps it is not Others, but None the one that is winning.

indeed, perhaps I should have split this option.

@mariojacobs,

Since None/Others is the last choice, it is possible to split out None/Others but it is probably not a good idea. Currently that choice has 27 votes. If we were to re-push the poll as you suggest, Others would get 27 votes and none would get zero votes. This may not reflect the intent of those who voted in the poll.

People generally do not change their votes when additional options are given in a poll. It is unlikely that the people who have already voted for None/Others will update their vote if the choices were split out.

ok, may I try it anyway? I have a hunch that in the long run none will beat others...
