Wait, are you counting the current ability to embed links to Twitter polls as 50% resolution? Dammit.

I really hate markets where the description contradicts the title. Twitter polls =/= native support. Whatever....

@MattP Yes, I am, Austin and I discussed this in contents below and it lines up with market description.

I think "native support" is not sufficiently precise which is why I gave more specific criteria in the description. When the market was created Twitter polls could not be embedded.

@MartinRandall Yeah, and that was stated clearly in the description (which I should've read before betting a bunch).

Should they tho?

(yes, I think the answer is yes)

I still think the idea is really good fwiw!

Actually, embedding a Twitter poll might not be that hard...

@Austin Oh, in fact maybe already possible.

Nope.

Damn you took the alpha already

(for others trying to figure this out: click on the "Add embed" button and paste in the tweet link)

@MartinRandall My guess is because it's annoying to use YES/NO comments for conducting polls, and then tallying comments. Native support would be awesome.

I also suggested that polls be automatically paired with an outcome market (poll results stay hidden till that market closes) to make it more in line with Manifold being a market prediction centered product.

@akhil Yeah, in my mind that stuff would all be configurable - public vs private (until the end) results, market resolves based on majority vs resolves to %, all that jazz.
