I think polls would be better as surveys with more questions.

Other platforms have polls and people tend to either just use them for fun or use them to get unhelpful stats.

"Do you use Photoshop Yes/No" isn't helpful unless you know the demographic, so having other questions like "are you a graphic designer" in the mix would be really cool. You could either do this as a single object or by linking all the polls in a single post as if they were related.
We could pull out some really nice stats and a little graph or something. That would be such a cute feature compared to, say, Twitter surveys.

Yep, had similar thought in mind. I’m thinking that this functionality could sort of be like a progressive enhancement on top of the basic poll functionality.
