LiveVote

operates in:
Canada

contact:
http://www.livevote.ca

Free mobile polling and feedback services in Canada. Here's our pitch:

Online portals are quickly discovering that those designed around
user interaction and feedback quickly become popular. Thanks to the
Internet, this is very easy to do. However, most of the media outlets around
the world don’t utilize the full power of the Net and neither do their readers.
In fact, far more people around the world have mobile phones than personal
computers. LiveVote will take advantage of that by creating a simple,
universally accessible feedback channel for anybody that wants one.
