Vizu
has recently launched an innovative new feature of our free web poll
widget on Vizu.com called Vote Maps which is a mashup between poll
answers and Google Maps.

Now every
poll comes with a Vote Map that allows people to see where in the world
votes on a poll are coming from. Answers are color coded to help
highlight regional differences in answer choices. Users can look at
poll responses on a world map or drill down all the way to the zip code
level to analyze vote patterns. Votes show up on the map regardless of
where a poll resides – be it on Vizu.com, a blog, website, or social
network page. And the results are aggregated on the vote map even if
there are multiple different instances of the poll.

Here are some great sample polls that really show off the new Vote Maps feature:

Web Polls are a natural complement to any website and are often a great
way to synthesize opinion or promote discussion and participation.

• Polls can be used as the subject of a posting, or as supplemental content.
• Polls are also a great way to learn what types of content/postings are popular with your readers.
• Adding
  a poll to your blog gives readers the ability to contribute opinion,
  helping them develop a feeling of "investment" in your site.
