I’ve been using Polldaddy to integrate brief polls into this blog, and some other free tools for similar purposes.

^[1]

I just added a new Poll on the site here, to get a sense of what types of posts are favored by readers (please take the poll if you are reading this - it only takes a couple seconds - the poll is right over there in the side bar, just scroll down a bit =>). I’ve had a few other polls here recently, and have been using Polldaddy ^[1] to create the polls and embed them on the site here. This functionality is free from Polldaddy.

Polldaddy also works for creating stand-alone web based surveys. They offer limited functionality for free, and have paid plans ^[2] providing more extensive functionality. I thought it was worth mentioning here, along with some other free tools I’ve used for similar purposes.

I am a big a fan of SurveyMonkey ^[3] - I use it frequently to create top-notch web based surveys for free (I just realized I’ve never posted about this great tool! I’ve now added it to my list of future topics). I have also found Doodle to be great for simple polls, especially as a tool for scheduling training sessions (see this post ^[4] for more on that).

If anyone has any feedback or comments on PollDaddy or any other free polling and survey tools, please drop a comment and share! Thanks.
