  1. I wonder if something like polltogo (http://polltogo.com), which requires no prerequisite app download to participate, could be useful at concerts? Perhaps mobile polls created by the bands to get the audience’s choice, voting via smartphone, to decide on what to play for the final set? Or maybe on-the-fly polls created by the audience themselves and shared by SMS, or findable by geolocation on a site like http://p2.gg, or even shared person-to-person via a QR code… What do you think? Any other ideas?
