Is there any way to embed my polls in another website so I can get more people to answer them? (I want to embed it. Not just link to it.)

Do it, do it, do it! Most of the people here will love to answer frankly and get directly (i.e. on the spot) informed on the results of the opinion poll. We want more! Cheers!

It's fairly common to see polls out on the Internet and most give a percentage of results. I think what you've done with the demographic breakout is awesome.(What about another category for LinkedIn employees?) I like the snapshot feel of it. Sort of a glimpse into the larger LinkedIn community. But unless someone participates in a poll they won't know about it. I realize depending upon when you take the poll the numbers may only reflect a fraction of our membership but it would be cool if there were a way to check back for accumulative results. Like following the stock market through the end of the day. Also posting the date the poll will close would be helpful to see final results or at least advertising that you will be posting the final results . Perhaps building a hyperlink to the feedback feature we receive in CS for potential topics of interest for future polls would be of value while this is in beta. If someone did use this information for research or a specific relevant purpose what about publicizing a short paragraph, "The Poll Plug", in place of the polls once a week. It would be another way to grab people's attention, draw them back to the site and capitalize on the great work you are doing. Just some thoughts...
