Yesterday, I wrote a short post about
Kwiqpoll. After that post was published I got a few requests for suggestions about other web-based polling/ survey tools. Here are eleven other ways you can conduct polls and surveys online.
MicroPoll makes it very easy to create a poll, customize it, and embed it into your blog or website. To use
MicroPoll just enter your question, enter answer choices, and enter your email address. After completing those first three steps you can preview your poll, change the theme (look) of your poll, and get the embed code for your poll.
Flisti is a free and easy-to-use polling tool. Registration is not required in order to create a poll with
Flisti. In fact, registering doesn't seem to be an option at all. To create a poll using
Flisti just enter your question, specify some answer choices, then click "create new poll." Your poll(s) can be embedded into your blog, website, or wiki.
Quiz Snack offers a free service for creating polls and quizzes to post in your blog or website. To use
Quiz Snack you can sign in with your Twitter, Facebook, Google, or Quiz Snack account. Then select one of three poll/quiz formats, type your question(s) and answer choices, and select a template. Then copy the embed code provided by Quiz Snack and place it your blog or website.
Pollmo is a free service offering an easy way to create and post simple polls online. Getting started with
Pollmo is easy. Just head to their site, type your question, type your response choices, and select a color theme for your poll. Then just copy the embed code provided to place your poll on your blog or website. Don't have a blog or website? Then just direct people to the url assigned to your
Pollmo poll.
Urtak is a free and simple polling service that can be used on any blog or website. The polls you create can have multiple questions, but they must be "yes or no" questions. But
Urtak isn't that limited because visitors to your poll also have the option of writing in their own questions. You can get started using
Urtak in seconds by registering with your Twitter or Facebook account. You can also use your email address to create an account with
Urtak.
Urtak polls can be embedded into your blog or you can direct people to your poll by sharing the unique url Urtak assigns to your poll.

Using
Yarp you can create a simple one question survey or one line event invitation. To create a
Yarp survey select "survey" on the homepage, type a question, then select your answer format. All answer formats present only two options along the lines of "true or false" or "yes or no."
Yarp invitations use the same format styles as
Yarp surveys.
Vorbeo is a free service for creating polls for your blog or website. To use
Vorbeo just type your question, enter your answer choices, select a background color, and specify the width of your polling widget. Then copy the embed code provided by
Vorbeo and paste it into the html editor of your blog or website.
Obsurvey gives you the flexibility to create multiple choice surveys or open-ended surveys. Setting up a survey with
Obsurvey is an easy process. To set up a survey simply select your question format and then edit the questions and answer choices using the text editor. The
video here shows you how to set-up Obsurvey.
Polldaddy is one of the most recognized platforms for online polling. The free
Polldaddy plan allows you to create polls or surveys containing up to ten questions. Poll/ survey results are displayed in real-time.
Kwik Surveys is a free survey tool that offers a bunch of excellent options.
Kwik Surveys gives you the option to mix and match eleven different types of questions. You can administer your survey by posting it on a blog, website, or discussion forum. You can also email your survey to the people you want to take it. If you choose the email option, you can track who has taken your survey and restrict respondents to taking the survey only once.
Using forms in
Google Documents you can create a simple survey or poll, gather the data, and then select from any number of gadgets and scripts to create visualizations of that data. You can find directions for creating a
survey here. If you're a
Blogger user, Blogger has a poll gadget that you can customize and insert into the sidebar of your blog.
