Small suggestion... you should make the vote option text a label. Very annoying when you try and click it but realize you cannot, and are forced to click the actual radio button.
If you click vote without selecting any of the options, it looks like it's processing your vote, but never does anything. There should probably be some message telling you to choose something, rather than make you think that there's something going on when you submit a blank vote.<p>Other than that, cool interface.
Hey Ben, As i mentioned on FB - I like your design and implementation. One thing that i noticed just now- when i click "vote", would be cool if "take another poll" would appear somewher near so i dont have to move mouse along whole screem. i believe its your major call to action once i voted, right? small thing, but its quite annoying and slows my voting process which i believe is quite fun by itself. good luck with this!
Nice app. I like your implementation -- particularly how you encourage users to make their own polls with the orange notification. I recently built a surprisingly similar polling application.

When I mouse over a state if it has votes then it stays black after mousing over another state. If it doesn't have votes it returns to white.<p>Let me know if you need more details.<p>Safari 5.0.2 Mac OS X 10.6.5<p>Also when casting a vote I'd like it to tell me what city/state it recognized me as. I'm from Provo but there where no votes there, so I'm assuming I'm the one in Salt Lake.
I'm guessing the map is for me to put in my location. If so, 2 things. 1 the area I live in is labeled wrong (email me and I'll point you to it if you want to fix it), also when I hit take another poll it takes me out to country level, it should stay.
It looks like it's a good idea and the website has a nice design, although I've never understood how online surveys can be unbiased considering the fact that the population of voters is definitely biased. Do you have any plans for making the data more reliable that you're using with the site (e.g. asking users for how they found the site)?
