Nonetheless, the widget looks great and displays the result without refreshing the page. The only cost is that the module includes a link back to PollDaddy.com - perhaps professional sites could pay a small fee to have that removed.
PollDaddy goes up against Quimble, Vizu, dPolls and PollPub's new MySpace polls. Visually, it's my favorite, but widgets are all about getting as much distribution as possible. Perhaps they could strike deals with the top bloggers to ensure that PollDaddy is their poll of choice, or even do what Digg did - make PollDaddy.com a popular destination for public polls. I imagine something like "Today's Most Active Polls", with a link back to whatever site the poll is being displayed on - that way, bloggers could actually gain traffic by choosing PollDaddy. They might also want to seek distribution through widget directories like TypePad widgets or Mashable's sponsor WidgetBox. It sure is a purty site, but success here is all about promotion.
