This month you can find the pollsb customizable poll widget on some really cool sites:

Blogtv is using our poll widget to have an election poll.

Bella and Edward, a website dedicated to the Twilight book series, polls its readers on their expectations from the upcoming Twilight movie.

Gameriot, a website dedicated to Blizzard games, posted a poll about some controversial new features of Diablo 3, while Diablo3x, another Diablo 3 fansite, posted a poll widget asking about Pvp in Diablo 3.

JBFan, a Jonas Brothers fansite, posts weekly polls on the ever popular Jonas Bros.

Wow. Jonas Brothers fans have certainly taken a liking to polls boutique and are posting lots of Jonas bros. polls all over the place. Polls include the classics: Which Jonas Brother are you? poll, and favorite camp rock song, and even the interesting: “If the Jonas Brothers could only have one thing: good looks or good music, what would you want them to have?”

Check out all of our Jonas Brothers polls.

Putting up our personal pictures, videos and music online is nothing more than a way of asking: what do you think about my new outfit? should I cut my hair? Should I get this tattoo? I made this video, what do you think? and so on… More often than not, we need others’ opinions to keep ourselves in check, and be aware of other points of view. One of the best ways to getting an advice that will be truthful and honest, is trying to get the outsider’s opinions, people who don’t have any obligation to be nice, who have no intencives to embellish the truth: the crowd.

On polls boutique, asking questions like that is made easy. Just upload your pictures, your videos and audio, and enjoy instant feedback and answers from loads of people from all over the world. Instantly find out what people think about your new haircut, your tattoo, and your hair:

It’s no secret that we’re trying to evangelize bloggers into using polls on their blog posts. And when we speak with bloggers about this, most of them understand the strength of a poll as a form of communication with your audience. But for the sake of those who don’t, here’s why posting poll on your blog makes sense:

1. Like blog comments, polls are a great way to add a level of interaction to your blog posts. Posting a poll on your blog is like asking your readers a question, conversing with them, getting their opinions. This is what makes good blogs great: they listen to their audience, they learn what their audience wants, and they follow up on it.

2. Polls are great for blogs because they produce additional content. As a blogger with a poll, you not only produce content in terms of your writing, but you also have your poll results to enhance your understanding of the covered subject. When a critical mass of people vote on your poll, you can update your post with the results, adding high quality content to your writing.

3. Polls are perfect as feedback tools. Redesigned your blog? Made a new video and have two versions to pick from? Have two versions of some song and want your readers to tell you which one is better? Use a poll!

4. Polls can help you market your blog. Every poll posted on Polls Boutique, is enjoyed not only on your blog as a poll widget but also on pollsb.com, by a community of many thousands of voters and pollsters who can dig your stuff and follow your poll to your blog. Make sure your add links to your polls and invite your voters to go read the post you wrote.

We’ve been trying to figure this one out for a long time:

When we started pollsb.com, we wanted to try a social connection model that’s similar to flickr and twitter’s: a one way connection in which anyone can add you as a pollster and get your polls on their pollster feed.

Lately though, we’re thinking about a social network model where one user “requests” friendship from the other, and has to be confirmed to be his friend (like on myspace and facebook).

We’d love to get some feedback on the subject. And so, we’ve made a poll about it:
