Awesome! There are currently no good "poll as a service" solutions out there. Not long ago, I searched pretty hard and tried all I could find. For a MVP I only miss one feature in your solution: The ability to add options later on.

Check out Wedgies - they've got a pretty slick product.

Shameless plug: I recently needed a super simple, clean and fast way to create a poll. Since I didn't find anything to fulfill my requirements, I built my own - http://tally.tl/ And that's the poll question I wanted to ask: http://tally.tl/GQDy3

I had the same problem and did the same thing a few years ago (http://polls.cc). I wonder how many of these websites are out there.

If there was an option in Tally to hide votes so they don't influence decisions, it would be more useful. We used it at Techstars recently and didn't find the results very accurate. That said, it's very slick and simple, which I really liked.

That's a very good point Patrick. It was intentional because I didn't want to add extra buttons and clutter the interface, but I might rethink it. It's always tricky to add functionality without sacrificing simplicity.
