I filled out the survey last night and it thanked me for participating, but when I check the results my responses haven't been included. I know this for sure because I indicated that I "liked" the Madman Entertainment and Siren Visual facebook pages but the results show them as having no votes. Confused

I don't think the results is meant to give a running tally, since AFAIR, the results are weird when the survey is still open Maybe they run a process on it when the survey closes so they have results to display.

I think they typically keep the results by default absconded while the poll is still going. I can't recall any survey where I saw the actual results immediately after submitting the survey.

Does Facebook "Bejeweled Blitz" count as an "App"? That's 80% of what I do at Facebook.

The question about reading manga on Facebook needed a "No, and I have no interest in ever doing so" option.

It's not even a "Digital vs. Physical" thing; even if I wanted to read manga digitally, I don't really see the point of doing it at Facebook, considering i don't find Facebook a very good way to view any kind of images, period. (Like if I want to view an image at a larger size, I have to download it.)

It kinda seems like this is a plot to get more fans on Facebook. It's probably working.

That was the fastest survey I've ever taken.
"No" to question 1 and I'm done.

I just finished doing the survey, I like to see what's this going to do. Smile

I'm not on FaceBook, so this wasn't a very interesting survey for me, but I suppose that they want to hear from all kinds.

It's a pity, I kept having to say that I didn't like ANN, when, of course, I do, just not in the biblical sense.

I don't get it. If you aren't on Facebook then you didn't have to answer the rest of the questions including the one that asked if you "Like" ANN.

I answered "no" to the first question and called it a day; love them easy surveys.

Can't stand Facebook, good to see others aren't on it either.

Ha ha, me too!

I'll be honest, I'm sometimes tempted to join. Mainly because I have some very interesting coworkers with whom I'd like to become better acquainted, and FaceBook just seems to be their social network of choice. But then I remember-- all the former classmates I have zero interest in contacting (anyone with whom I cared to keep in contact, I did-- and that was one person); the socially-conservative relatives who wouldn't "get" most of my hobbies & interests (let alone my personal political stances & pet causes), and whose comments I'd like to be spared next time they visit; and the fact that FB sells your info and it's almost impossible to delete your account-- and I say No. No thank you. Too bad, guess I'll just have to get to know folks the old fashioned way-- actually, like, talking to them.

[P.S. I should also add that where I work people have been fired for comments they've made online, specifically on FB and Twitter. While I'm not prone to discussing work online (it's like the last thing I want to talk about, ever) that in principle is one more reason not to join up. My corporate masters would be watching me on FaceBook and that creeps me out to no end.]

Don't fret, they certainly were counted. The results given to you at the end of the poll at present is ignorable. I'm not sure if it's a coding fault or something done on purpose, but what you see is certainly not the true results, far from it actually Wink

If it wasn't for Hatsune Miku I wouldn't be on facebook at all. I've lock down my account as much as I can, or facebook will allow. So don't knock, don't ring the bell, and don't call. I'm not your friend and I don't like you. Razz [blows rasberries].
