CrowdSignal is PollDaddy’s fresh name

CrowdSignal is PollDaddy’s fresh name

The CrowdSignal mystery is solved.

The prior week I wrote regarding how Automattic, the firm behind WordPress, was getting ready to launch a fresh polling/survey service called CrowdSignal.

That was sort of right. The firm will indeed soon have a service called CrowdSignal but it turns out that it’s a rebranding of the firm’s PollDaddy service.

The rebrand will occur on Monday. It doesn’t sound like there will be any major changes; just the rebranding and some modest cosmetic changes.

Existing PollDaddy.com URLs will forward to CrowdSignal.com URLs, although some users might need to whitelist domains used with the service.
