Flisti for quick polls

If you're after something more than a quick yes/no poll (which is done well by Yarp, next down in the blog) then you might want to look at Flisti. Nothing to download, install or even join. Just ask your question, have as many answers as you like (with multiple responses if you prefer) and Flisti does the rest. You can also embed it into a webpage or blog:

You can also add comments as well. Seems nice and easy to use - doesn't seem to be a time limit either. Do feel free to answer the question as well - I'm just curious as to the result - I don't believe that I can see who responses came from since you don't have to register, but if I can, I won't be telling anyone.

Yarp - simple surveys and invitations

If you need a quick yes/no survey then you might want to try Yarp. It's as simple as they come - add in your question, decide on the ye/no type of response from the options they give you, get the URL and then share it. No multiple choice etc - this is as bare bones as they come. That's both its strength and weakness of course. Here is my version, in case you want to see what one looks like. Feel free to try it out, or I'll feel like Billy NoMates when I go back in a few days to check! :)
