Quimble: Add Polls to Your Site Easily
byEvery so often Sundog gets a client wanting to add a poll to their site for one reason or another. Sometimes we’ve rolled one ourselves or in a few cases have tried using a 3rd party solution that’s given us so-so results.
Quimble is one of the better poll providers I’ve come across so far and for those of you keeping score is another web2.0 application built using Ruby on Rails. Polls can be shared or private and can be posted directly on your own site or have it displayed on Quimble (or both I assume). You’re given a variety of ways to display your poll and can even style it to your liking if you choose the CSS route. Polls are easy to create and as far as I could tell there is no limit to the number of answers per poll or the number of polls you can have.
I created my own poll in a matter of minutes including the time it took to set up my account, you can view it after the jump.
