I noticed that Disqus uses a JS widget to embed comments. I like that approach a lot. I wasn't sure of all of the benefits, but full CSS styling is pretty nice.

As a way to get bloggers to adopt it, I think I'm going to make custom CSS skins on a blog by blog basis and start posting links to a new relevant poll that I made in the comment section.

You don't think that would annoy people, would you?

Hopefully a few bloggers will start embedding the poll into the bottom of their post.

Geocoding IPs would be really cool to combine with a map. I'm set up to do that now, I just need to collect more data.

It'd be even cooler to be able to find polls that a similar user base has answered and statistically analyze a certain poll(85% of the people that agreed with your blog also agreed with ...).
