SodaHead polls get widgety

Just couple of weeks after launch in the public space, SodaHead is already pushing the envelope. SodaHead today added the ability for the polls to be posted on any external blog/site via an embed code. Just like PollDaddy that I am using right now, SodaHead displays the Question, Answers, and Results for the poll in a flash based widget. In addition to that SodaHead shows any images part of the poll and also the profile image of the SodaHead user who is voting. Best part is you can get the SodaHead community voting on your poll for free. All votes casted on any SodaHead widget are included on the SodaHead Vote History. Currently you don’t have have any customization options, but they will be out soon.

With this, SodaHead goes on offensive against Vizu that has been building a widget based ad-type poll marketplace. Once SodaHead gets the customization part rolling, I would move my polls to SodaHead to get additional viewpoints.
