As you may have noticed, there is a new term that recently sprung up around Quibblo…and you also may have thought “What the heck does that mean?”. Well, wonder no more…
Quibblet [kwib-lit] noun, plural quibb-lets
- a universal term for content created on Quibblo.com
- a poll, quiz, survey, or personality test on Quibblo.com
Sam created two quibblets on Quibblo.com; one personality test to send to his friends, and one poll to post on his blog.
Did you know that you can add ANY Quibblo poll to your blog, website, or MySpace profile with just a few clicks? It’s super easy, and a great way to add content to your pages, and to get your visitors participating actively on your site. Look for the “Share This Poll” section at the top right of any poll or poll results page, and you will see an “add to my site” link:
Click that link, customize the colors to match your site, and grab the code to paste into your page…easy peasy!
Here are some of our favorite bloggers out there who are currently embedding Quibblo polls in their sites, so click on through to see how the final product looks:

You may have noticed, that when you go to create content on Quibblo, that there is an option to “List my [content] publicly on Quibblo.com” with a little checkbox that is pre-checked by default.
A neat little feature that you may not know much about, unchecking this box will hide your content from the public directory, allowing you to limit respondents to only people who access the link to your quiz directly.
When might you want to hide your content from the public directory? Here are some instances where privatizing your content is a good idea:
- When you create content that contains personal information that you may only want to share with select friends.
- When you are posting your content in a specific place, and only want the responses to come from a certain group, and not be contaminated by the general public.
Remember, if you leave that box checked, your content will show in the general Quibblo.com directory, and be accessible by any and all Quibblo users.
