To understand SodaHead’s advantage, let’s at the existing options in the market for running a poll - Vizu, Polldaddy, Grouptivity, Circleup, and few more. Each of them is a great idea and solves some very specific problems. Out of all of them, Polldaddy has gained max traction with users/bloggers. But one big fundamental piece that is missing is viral spread of polls. You put out a poll, it stays on your site. You might put it on 5 different sites of yours, or maybe on your blog network. Distribution is still limited. Well that is not exactly viral in the viral sense of things. [...] [...] What SodaHead is offering is not exactly new in the market, but the way the application is being implemented is going to make the difference.

Once SodaHead gets the customization part rolling, I would move my polls to SodaHead to get additional viewpoints.

From the initial looks I think Sodahead can turn be pretty addictive site. Idea is not new but comes with a twist as compared to what we already have in market. Vizu does distributed polling and surveys, while Grouptivity and CircleUp enable group collaboration and questionnaires in private groups. But none of these work out in the open where users in a social network can put up polls and get responses and comments from everyone on the community. Identifying this sweet spot can only come from experienced social networking guys. As it turns out Sodahead was founded last year by former MySpace execs Jason Feffer and Michael ?. To start with Sodahead had received $4.25 million in funding from Mohr Davidow Ventures, a big enough round to keep their small but smart group up and running for a while.

I like Quizical’s idea and implementation - lets you create Quiz or enables you to operate in the survey mode where you are just collecting input from users.  To get the quizzes go places, Quizical has opened up its API for developers to build plugins(actually Steve is $50 for each platform. Not much, still better than free). Only problem with Quizical’s idea is that number of startups are already working in this direction. Vizu, about whom I had written before, is going pretty strong in enabling poll creation and distribution marketplace. Still I think there is lot of space is there in the blogging world especially for Quizzes with social features that Quizical is planning to offer in future.
