I saw a thread on this previously. I like the small polls that many websites use. There's a few nice polling applications out there already at about the right price so I'm not sure if this is a marketable suggestion or not. (Scott, maybe you could whip this up in your "free" time?)

I was JUST going to suggest this too, when I saw the thread you started.

I'd like to get an application that would let me add polls to my web site and manage them, etc. But low cost?

Hi Melissa;
There is a fairly nice one on the market. The basic version is $29. The costs increase for added functionality. I played around with it previously and found the setup difficult and the documentation marginal (it was a PHP/MySql version).
It'd be nice to have CC put their spin on something like that (maybe a flash version)

I like this idea a lot...
