Dan, It is a kind of pain to decipher all the varied branding messages your product sends out. $100 for Answers, and free polling with a social component that is hidden somewhere on the site. Joseph,

You are right on that.

Dan,

I've tried using Vizu's widget and PollDaddy's widget. As far as customization is concerened i think its a tie, as far as comment is concerend. Dan's right, you can comment, but you have to leave the widget and the page the widget is on to do so. I'm assuming SodaHeads' key differentiator here is that this all takes place within the widget. Also, it would be nice if one of these companies allowed for video embeds in the question and answer choices. Another difference i noticed about SodaHead is that there is an actual thriving community there as opposed to the other sites.
