+These observations have been made solely on the free versions of each of these survey providers. It's possible that some of the concerns addressed are fixed/modified in the pay-for versions.
+
+----
+
+Features deemed important to a survey service include:
+
+- Analysis tools
+- The ability to insert images into the survey
+- Conditional branching based on responses provided by the user
+
+We are currently considering multiple online surveys options including:
+
+- www.surveymonkey.com
+ - Clean interface
+ - seems to be unable to use image uploads for multiple choice questions
+ - ensures one cannot vote from the same computer
+ - analysis seems pretty standard, in terms of options
+- www.polldaddy.com
+ - Very easy interface
+ - seems to cut out some of the control from the admin interface
+ - also unable to use images for multiple choice questions
+ - also ensures 'vote stuffing' doesn't happen (no voting from the same computer multiple times)
+ - conditional branching capable, but seemingly unable to make sure users only see a question if answer the initial question a different way (eg. user will eventually get to all the questions, regardless of the branching)
+ - I might be mistaken, there may be a way to change this -JacobThebaultSpieker
+ - analysis seems pretty standard in terms of options
+- www.limeservice.com
+ - full featured free account
+ - interface provides substantially more control, seemingly
+ - icon driven interface, kind of awkward to use
+ - control over conditional branching is much better
+ - statistics/analysis seems more fine-grained
+
+Please provide any feedback you may have as to other online survey options, or your experiences with any of the services being considered.
