Pollster.com has made the 2009 50 best websites list at number 30. For those of you unaware, Technorganix was responsible for both the design and development of the Flash chart application that is at the core of the Pollster website.
Not really. But I did design and develop the new chart application for Pollster.com. It features plenty of user customization capabilities, allowing you to add/take out specific choices (otherwise known as candidates), filter “pollsters”, set smoothing sensitivity, date and percentage ranges and turn on/off specific interface elements from the grid to points and trend lines and choose whether points display over top of trend lines, etc. It also gives the user the ability to save the url to their customized chart for later viewing or you can get the embed code (as seen above) to place on your own page or blog.
To see the fully functioning app, click on the stage of the chart above and it will take you directly to the page with the National Poll results for US President. Quite a handy tool, me thinks.
I’ll be posting some bits of code that I think you may find useful for your own projects shortly (shortly could mean a few hours or days).
I’ve just launched version 3.0 of my dev/design studio website. No more gloss and a much more usable design overall. This version was fully developed with AS3. Version 3.1 will introduce a bitof SEO (search engine optimization) and “deep linking” amongst other things. Check it out.
As well, feel free to leave any comments, feedback, critiques, bugs, etc.
