Whenever I''ve been tasked with posing a question to a group of people and gathering their answers to determine a course of action I''ve always relied on emails and a spreadsheet. Here''s a great site to help you do just that without having to read and track all the responses. CircleUp allows you to pose a question(s) in an email or IM, and get back a single organized result. It allows you to pose questions in a variety of formats; choices, suggestions, rating, ranking, and you can import users from your address book. Responses to your questions can either be private or public.
You can look forward to receiving an email from CircleUp from me if you''re a member of a group I''m tasked with gathering a decision from.
