#2"We received 148 responses before we closed the poll." This doesn't seem like a good sample size.

#3This pie chart is illegible (four shades of gray?). A bar chart would have been much better.

Not only that, the pie chart (http://www.softwareadvice.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/20...) is such a disgrace to design in general I have to question if these people actually have eyes or not.

#5These results are not very actionable.
First, 148 responses is largely inadequate, especially considering the sheer number of possible choices. 148/10 = 14.8 votes, on average, per choice. Hardly accurate enough to make a reasonable judgement.
Second, the responses are unquestionably biased. To my knowledge, the poll was hosted only on UX Movement. More likely than not, respondents were voting based upon what they believe to be "best practices," as opposed to true desires: "I recently revamped a website to include fewer screens, and people seemed to like it."
So, let me clarify. These results aren't actionable unless you're building for UX enthusiasts, which, given the pie chart displayed, UX Movement is not.

#6This is a bit off topic, but what's a better way to represent fractional data than a pie chart? I'd say bar chart, but that doesn't immediately show that the data sums to 1.

While a pie chart may be the best way to represent fractional data, a pie chart with 10 segments and four shades of grey is not. A better method would have been to include only significant results, coupled with an "Other" category, in the chart. A separate data table could then inform those interested in delving deeper into the results.

#8Random people voting for what would be a good feature in nonexistent business apps? A very useful survey...
Re: UX Poll - Users Want Speed over Social Features
#9... "for business applications". (and according to a low sample rate). No insights to glean here, in my opinion.

#10Surprisingly, the social media functions we suggested did not rank as well. Although Facebook and Twitter are wildly popular with consumers, respondents didn’t seem too concerned with incorporating these UI paradigms into their business apps. We suspect this will change over time.
I hate to break it to the people that wrote this, but just because social media is useful to consumers doesn't mean it's useful for businesses.
The emphasis should be on "Business users want their UIs to be easier to navigate and more responsive? How can we make that happen?" Instead, it seems to be "Business users want their UIs to be easier to navigate and more responsive but don't want social features? They're just behind the times. They want social features. They just don't know it." This is a classic case of putting the horse before the cart.
