Polling startup Wedgies.com (yes, that’s really its name) is announcing that it has raised $700,000 in seed funding led by Greycroft Partners.

Co-founder and CEO Porter Haney told me the company’s goal is to “legitimize web voting,” and its approach is to bring those polls to social media: “Think about what Gallup or SurveyMonkey would look like if they were starting today.”

For example, the company says The Wall Street Journal used Wedgies to poll readers about things like how many cell phones they use and their response to a speech by President Obama.
