<a href="http://www.micropoll.com" title="MicroPoll" rel="nofollow ugc">MicroPoll</a> is a service that allows you to gather customer responses to polls on your website.
Normally, JavaScript code has to be inserted on each page where you want micropoll to be used. That approach requires editing of templates and including conditionals based on post ID.
This plugin makes it easy to incorporate the MicroPoll service in your WordPress blog without editing templates by providing a MicroPoll widget that can be used in any widget-ready theme.
Once you have installed MicroPoll, navigate to the configuration page and paste in your poll embed code from the <a href="http://www.micropoll.com/" title="plugin_name" rel="nofollow ugc">MicroPoll web site</a>.

Idea Factory was born out of necessity, and the frustration of the lack of plugins that did exactly what I wanted it to do. This plugin allows users to submit new ideas from the front-end, and vote on them. Currently it allows a user to vote once per idea, then locks them out. It’s also currently limited to logged in users, for now.
<ul>
<li>AJAX powered front-end submission and voting</li>
<li>Works for both logged in and logged out users</li>
<li>1 vote allowed per user per idea</li>
<li>Emails the admin of a new submission</li>
<li>Automatic setup or use anywhere with a shortcode</li>
<li>Optionally set a threshold where each idea will be given a status based on total votes and emails the admin</li>
<li>Automatic status grading</li>
<li>Extensible with hooks and actions on events</li>
<li>More ideas loaded with AJAX on front-end</li>
<li>Mobile friendly</li>
</ul>
