Good concept, and very simple to use (which I believe is more important than web design, at least in the early stages).

Not having a website, I can't test the usability. I imagine you might encounter some resistance to inserting the look & feel of your polls onto the look & feel of their site, but you're serving a niche seeking a quick & dirty poll tool and I think this does the trick very nicely.

The public / private poll was also an excellent thought.

Edit: Created a poll - http://thatpoll.com/questions/14 - and I like how readily it shows which polls you've answered, and how.

Is there a way to see the results of polls you haven't answered (say, aren't qualified to but are interested in?)



JacobAldridge, thanks! Regarding the look & feel vs. a persons blog - That's a good point. I've only really played around with thatPoll on black & white sites(I'm a bit of a minimalist). A minimal theme'ing mechanism will be in the works.

There isn't a way to see all new polls yet. With a history system, that should definitely be an option though.
