Will Polls help or hurt Google plus?

Will Polls help or hurt Google plus?

Google Plus Polls
Google plus + Polls
In spite of the fact that this subject is old (by simply a couple of weeks) I feel I ought to approach it as though the news simply broke yesterday. Will polls help or hurt Google plus, like it's competitors Facebook & Twitter, Google plus is continually progressing and transforming its platform. Rolling out improvements from small to large on what would appear to be a quarterly scale as the year progresses. Truth be told I recall when Google changed the design of Google plus and how upset I was when I first logged in. In spite of the fact that this is simply a tiny new feature I feel this could potentially put Google on the track to having users getting irritated with it. If I could have a chat with Larry Page I would tell him to ease off a bit before executing any more features... or not to make changes at all. I'm very much into continuity :)
But now on to the real start of show, Google Polls.

So, how does Google polls work?

Well first, there is the process of creating a poll. When you create a poll, you can include up to five responses for people to choose from. You can also add photos to help explain each choice.

Editing polls: You can edit the text of your question after you ask it, but there's no way to change the choices or photos. You also can't close a poll after you start it. But if you really want to take down your poll, learn to delete your post.

Adding photos: You can upload a photo from your desktop or device camera roll, pick a photo from your Google+ Photos albums, or find an image using Google Image Search. If you upload photos or select images using Google Image Search, we'll automatically create a private Google+ Photos album with those photos. Only you can see this private photo album, unless you share the URL of the album with someone else.

Deleting photos: If you delete a photo in this private, polls photo album, it will remove the photo from the poll itself.

Sharing polls: We want to make sure the results of private polls aren't shared publicly, which is why you can only reshare public polls. Also, if you reshare a public poll, you'll need to share it publicly -- you can't share it with particular circles or people.

Voting In a Poll

If someone creates a poll on Google+, you can respond to let them know what you think. If you don't want to formally vote, you can also leave a comment or +1 the post.
