PC World - Save Money, Take a Poll, and Send Notes to Yourself: "Free and Low-Cost Polls
The other day a buddy asked if I'd take a survey. It got me to thinking how effective these free online surveys are for getting quick and valuable feedback.
I've created polls and surveys a couple of times. While they're definitely not scientific (neither am I, for that matter), they give me a sense of what readers think.
For instance, I like to use
PollDaddy--it's free and its latest iteration is a snap to use.
My buddy Suzanne L. likes polls that she can put right on her own site, so she uses
Snappoll.com. I like it, too, because it's quick to produce a poll and easy to embed. Suzanne also uses
Mister Poll.
If you're a member of the Twitter generation, my buddy Bill W. suggests you try
StrawPoll. Me, I don't Twitter. (Never heard of it? Read '
The Right Social Network for You.')
For a more sophisticated survey, rather than a poll, you might want to try
SurveyMonkey. The free version limits you to 100 respondents--but you can do lots with it, such as collect responses by e-mail, customize reports, and validate responses."
