Funny that noone has mentioned this. An Official Linden Lab Poll!

Anyone else taken it?

Yes I took the poll. I like this idea, I wasn't one of the lucky 1/200 who received the poll as a popup though.

My response:

Not big on surveys on the whole, but I took that one as well when I spotted it in the blog.

Took a couple of minutes.

As to what insights they might gain from it, no idea.
But I figured it wouldn't do any harm to try and be helpful. :)

I took it - it seemed to lack nuance, however. Very black and white, either-or answers.

Paraphrasing, 'did voice hurt or improve your personal relationships' - stuff like that.

If I recall correctly there was a neither/not-sure option, but it was tough to really express what you really thought.

I ended up giving an overall 'very positive' impression of voice with the survey due to the yes/no-ness of it. However my true sense is 'only slightly positive'. There was no way to give a 6 out of 10, for instance.

Polls are always useless. But it can be fun figuring out the results the pollster is looking for, which is pretty easy.

There is a "not sure" option for most questions. I chose that one a few times.
I do agree that, otherwise, it was a bit black and white though.

Hmm the alternative to polls is just listening to those that bleat the loudest, rather than the majority?

LL should have weekly polls/surveys on what residents are doing/thinking so LL would know how to respond.
