Richard MacManus http://www.readwriteweb.com polldaddyPolldaddy, the online poll tool I've been testing out in private beta here on R/WW, has just launched as a public beta. It has one of the best designs I've come across in a while, with functionality to match. Not only does it make it simple to create polls to include on your blog or website, but you can deliver them via widget and RSS feed as well - essential in this day and age. I think polls are are an excellent - and easy - way to bring more interactivity into websites, which is why I wanted to bring this to your attention. Here is the latest poll running on Read/WriteWeb:

nice idea. one bit of feedback: when I click 'View Results' before I have voted I can't click 'back' inside the widget - I have to reload the page. I think this might be by design, but maybe not - either way it felt broken in this respect. If it's desgined to stop me from voting because I've seen the results and therefore it doesn't want my vote, it doesn't work - as I can hit 'reload' and then vote...I can see this feature alone driving page views ;-)

I am one of the developers of PollDaddy. Just to quickly answer your questions:

1.) The 'risqué' design?
We wanted to put a free poll tool together now for quite a while. We run an online survey tool called GroupSurveys, and wanted to give our users access to a simple free polling tool. When we looked at other companies that offered poll tools, we thought there was room for something a bit off the wall. Have we gone too far? It’s just a bit of fun at the end of the day. If it doesn’t work out I fully intend to blame our designer!

2.) The missing back button?
Yes this is an obvious oversight on our behalf; there will be one there by the end of the day!

So I created/joined too, this is my first poll [http://www.geekzone.co.nz/chiefie/1495].

They work on all social networks (including myspace), and let you embed photos and youtube video in your free poll. Hands down PollPub.com just has more features. Thanks for the tip!
