Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

PollDaddy, an online polling and survey tool, that is used by many blogs, has been acquired by Automattic.

Matt mentioned the following on his blog:

As we started to look at building out our own service for this, it became more obvious that, while on the surface it’s a very simple problem, there’s a lot of hidden complexity and opportunities for some really powerful features under the hood. There are probably a dozen companies addressing this space right now, but as we started to survey the space I was struck by how often I’d see this “PollDaddy” thing pop up. [...] Today we just enabled PollDaddy integration with 4.4 million blogs on WordPress.com and have released the first version of their .org plugin.

This should result in improved integration with the WordPress platform in the coming months.
