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)?

We track where users voting come from so you can segment by particular referrers. For example, you could segment votes by Facebook users or Twitter users.

Mostly, we aim to work with larger websites/companies with large amounts of website visitors, Twitter followers or Facebook fans to easily aggregate what their users think.

I'm not positive we'll be able to eliminate bias though. Its on the to-do list =)
