Hey,

I've created a web app that allows you to create an American Idol like poll where people can vote using text messages (SMS) via their cell phone.  It has a few features, but I will be adding more to it.

If you could (or would) use a free service like this for radio/tv shows, events (like youth group, or regional sales meetings), or talent shows then could you offer some advice.

I'll be changing the opening website, as well as the results pages but...

When creating an account, logging in, or creating a poll do you experience any trouble?  Do you think there is a more intuitive way to accomplish something?  Does it look good/professional?

What features would you like to see?

While keeping a free service, how much would you pay for more advanced features like:

- sending out a text blast

- after someone votes they would receive a custom message from you

- creating SMS lists which you can send messages to

- being able to select winners from those who voted

Would you pay per text or flat rate?

Of special interest are local radio & tv stations.
