Using Linkedin's Poll application for research

Hi folks,

I just discovered a cool way to collect information on Linkedin.com. They have an web app that allows you to pose questions either inside your own network (free) or worldwide in Linkedin.com (not free). So I took a first shot to check who uses which office tool in my network. The cool things is that I am able to post the link to the app anywhere on the web and as I just found out, the not-so-cool thing is that you have to have a Linkedin.com account to fill out the poll. Hmmm :-(

However, anyone who has an account, here is the link:

Linkedin.com does the analysis automatically and displays them in your profile.

Best,
Andreas
