Good news for all Poll users out there – now you can add a premium feature to your Poll for free.
Poll is a great tool for gathering fan feedback on Facebook. It is a bit more flexible than Facebook's own Question, because it offers a lot more functionality. Users and agencies, who admin brand Facebook pages, often use the Facebook comments feature to enable voters to comment on the Poll options.
Facebook commentsis a premium feature of Poll and it is usually available for purchase, when setting up you Poll. You can also get this feature for free, when you integrate your Poll with STAR Social – our app for creating custom Facebook tabs.
To set it up, you have to integrate Poll with STAR Social. Here are the instructions..
This is a shortened version, to see the full instructions and also learn how to add multiple polls to your tab, read this blog post.

2. Click "GO TO APP" to be re-directed to STAR Social. STAR Social needs to know whether you are the admin of the page. Then click "GET STARTED" after you are re-directed to STAR Social website.
4. Confirm your email address. We need your email address to be able to send you notifications regarding the service and updates. We hate spam so don't worry, we will email you only when it's neccessary. Allow STAR Social to manage your pages. STAR Social needs to be able to access your pages, so that post manager and page manager can do the stuff you assign them – such as publishing scheduled posts and adding plug-ins to your tabs.
5. You have your Poll integrated with STAR Social now. You can see your latest poll in preview in STAR Social. Poll is displayed as one of the plug-ins on your Social Plug-in Properties list in Page Manager. Here you can add more polls on your tab or any other plug-ins from the list.
