I embeded a survey onto one of my network's pages and it works beautifully. Embeding the survey instead of linking to it keeps members on your site and looks more professional.
I believe it would work in any text box, you can change the width, height and appearance. They really offer quite a bit with their free basic plan.

Katie, thanks for the tip. Surveys are a huge component of my site, and this will definitely help me out.
I'm actually having trouble embedding my SurveyMonkey survey into the main text box of my homepage. It comes up as a blank box! I'm working in Firefox on a Mac -- and yes, I'm doing this in HTML mode. Any ideas?
Here's the code SurveyMonkey gave me:
<div id="surveyMonkeyInfo"><div><script src="http://www.surveymonkey.com/jsEmbed.aspx?sm=ma5vOgiE2UQjSTZzuJuwaw_3d_3d"> </script></div>Create your <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/">free online surveys</a> with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.</div>
I don't see survey monkey as an app. Can we still do this?
I don't think it's available as an app, but you can get an embed code from their site.
There is a big compatibility problem between Surveymonkey and Ning: Whenever you wanna embed the code into a forum, group discussion or blog the code doesn't work, hence the survey is useless. Surveymonkey will only work if you embed the code into a "page" on Ning.
Ning is really limiting a lot of functions. I wonder why that is ... .
