What Say U? (Malaysia)
What Say U? is a gadget application built on OpenSocial platform which enables the owner of the application to post a question and get opinions/say from his or her friends. Friends of the owner will be able to see the question and submit their say to the topic in question. The list of what users (friends and including the owner of the application) said is displayed and can be reloaded real-time in the event any of the users submitted their opinions at the same time. This is different with a Wall or comments application as it is up to the owner of the application to submit a question for opinions. Users can then choose to participate in the topic or submit a question themselves in their own What Say U? application. This can be thought as a way of micro-blogging which also highly attracts interaction among friends.
