It’s "pollday" again! Last week’s poll showed that most of you came across itsourtree.com while researching on the internet or by a friend’s/relative’s recommendation or invitation.
This week’s poll concerns the family. As most of you probably don’t live with your parents any more, we’re trying to find out how often you contact your parents. In this case, a contact can be a personal meeting or a phone call.
Last week’s poll was about online genealogy tools, and most of you (61%) don’t use offline tools for genealogy. Some, however, use the Family Tree Maker as it is the most common offline genealogy tool.
This week, we’d like to know how you came to know about our cosy little genealogy and family social network. 
Monday = Pollday! The result of last week’s poll about the number of generations in your tree was quite clear: 61 % of your trees have 5-10 generations. But (and I’m taking my hat off to you) 9 % have more than 40 generations in their trees! 
This week’s poll is about your genealogical habits when you use your computer “unplugged” (offline). Do you use any offline genealogy programs? Yes? Which one(s)?
…has your family tree? This is what we’d like to know from you this week. Last week, we wanted to know how big your family tree has grown so far. The results: 63 % of you have a family tree with more than 100 profiles in it, and 14 % even more than 1000! Wow, keep it up! 
But now: this week’s question.
…family tree? Last week, we wanted to know how often you visit itsourtree.com, and we’re happy to find out that most of you drop by at least once a week!
This week, we’re looking for the biggest family trees. It’s time to show off your family tree size!
Often we receive e-mails from our users stating that they are addicted to our site. Some of them say that they sleep thinking of itsourtree.com, that they dream of itsourtree.com and even that they work the whole day just waiting to be home and finally be able to access the platform. We know that family is really important, also that our avatars are super cute, that the blog is interesting, etc… Our question is:
Through this poll we’ll be able to say for real if the fanatic users also are the users’ majority!
The result of last week’s poll you find here.
As previously announced, we’ve got a new poll for you today. This time, we’d like to know your favourite feature on itsourtree.com. Do you use it as a communication platform and send a lot of messages to your relatives, do you use it to share your family photos with your relatives or is your favourite a completely different feature ? Let us know…
Results:
The poll numbers were actually quite interesting this time. In the overall result, the option “other” was ranked above the messaging and picture sharing functions. Having those numbers in our hands it’s easier for us to understand our users’ needs. We thank you all for the contribution and we’d like to remember you that every monday there will be a new poll to register your opinion!
