How do you run distributed standups?

I run a distributed team, across nine hours of time zone offset, so staying in sync takes some work. We’ve been fooling around with different methods and cadances for our sync-ups, so as a way of gathering ideas, I did a quick “twitter poll” yesterday:

The results were super interesting!

Do distributed teams do daily standups?

Yes, overwhelmingly: 42 people said their teams do daily standups. 8 did standups, but less frequently (ranging from every other day, to weekly). 6 said they did not.
