Polls Boutique: Free web-based polling service

Polls Boutique

Polls Boutique is a new web service that aims to answer the age-olf question: Is there room in this town for two easy to use online polling services? Because much like PollDaddy, that's exactly what Polls Boutique offers.

But unlike PollDaddy, Polls Boutique makes it easy to add multimedia to your polls. You can add images, audio, or video clips. You can write introductions to your polls and inlcude hyperlinks. And you can share your polls with others either through the Polls Boutique web site, or through a widget that you can embed on any web page. You can view the results of your poll at the Polls Boutique site, complete with some basic demographic info, since anyone who signs up for Polls Boutique needs to give up their location, gender and age. You do not necessarily need to sign up for an account to vote in polls, but you do need an account to create one.

Check out a sample Polls Boutique poll after the jump.

PollDaddy adds Twitter polling feature

PollDaddy Twitter
Looking for a quick way to conduct a poll? Online polling service PollDaddy has added a new Twitter feature that lets you ask a group of people what you should have for lunch, who you should vote for, or anything in between.

Users can set up a poll in a matter of seconds. Just visit the web site, type a short question, and select a few possible answers. You'll need to enter your Twitter login information in order to send out the poll. PollDaddy will automatically shorten the URL and send out a tweet under your name.

We're guessing that most users will either see your poll the moment you post it or they won't see it at all, so this service will be great for Twitter users with a large number of followers who need to get some information quickly. But you can also post links to your poll on a web page or pretty much anywhere else, so you could theoretically use PollDaddy's Twitter feature to gather information over time as well.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
