CircleUp, the polls creator, has released an embeddable MyQuestions widget to accompany its existing service, combining the functions of an instant messenger with a Q&A forums.
We mentioned that CircleUp should have this type of widget when we first reviewed the company at its launch. Now you can place your widget on your website, blog or social networking profile, including MySpace, hi5 and Piczo. This widget enables you to ask a question, get an answer, see others' questions, leave your own answers, and track everything with RSS along the way. You'll need to be registered in order to use this widget, as it functions around your existing CircleUp account and groups.
The most useful aspect of the MyQuestions widget is the ability to continue conversations with other members without having to leave your site. CircleUp has done a fairly good job of providing a service to install wherever you need it to be, whether that's your Outlook account or your browser. This latest offering nearly rounds out the bunch, allowing the core functionality of CircleUp to be exported elsewhere.
