Perkypoll.com - Vote and Explore Poll Results

PerkyPoll allows anyone to log on and make a poll and then view the results as other members reply. You can put the poll right on your blog so that people can answer right from it. You can also go to PerkyPoll and search through other people’s polls to see what they have had to say and also add your input. Creating a poll is simple and you can control the time period of the poll, who can respond (members or anyone), and whether it is private or public. If you are interested, there are also easy to follow instructions for creating a PerkyPoll widget. PerkyPoll can be used by anyone interested in finding out opinions and could therefore become a handy tool for market researchers. One example on the site shows a question from Audi asking people what they think about the design of the new TT model.

Make a poll and toss it on your blog. Watch other Perksters pile on and collect even more results. Play with the results explorer™ and learn something important you can share with the world. Life is good for Perksters!

This could be especially attractive for market researchers as the hard work of finding out opinions is done for them. Because it is easy to put on your blog, viral growth could be substantial and rapid.

The business model might not be the right one for this type of product. There is a tiered pricing system which does include a scaled-down free package but they should probably consider simplifying the model. It is just highly doubtful that anyone will pay for this type of service unless they can succeed in attracting corporate types willing to pay for market research. There is a lot of competition in this space and it would be interesting to know how they hope to beat out the rest. Currently, there are only about 70 polls on the site and this will have to multiply 100 times before it becomes interesting.
