What it does
pollster adds a generator to your Rails app that creates the MVC stack for polling of your users. It has a pretty chart.

sudo gem install mattetti-googlecharts
Make sure to follow the instructions on RESTful_Authentication, and add this line to your config/environment.rb file:
config.gem “googlecharts”, :lib => ‘gchart’, :version => “>= 1.3.6”
