Ask 500 People
http://www.ask500people.com/ Anyone who is registered can post a question and have it answered by 100 people from all over the world. In 2004 James Surowiecki wrote a best-selling book called "The Wisdom of Crowds." The book's premise is that diverse, decentralized people voting independently are better at predicting future events or trends than individuals, small groups or even domain experts. There are tools for surveying groups of independent voters, but they're either slow, expensive or both. We built Ask500People to gather input and opinion data in minutes instead of days, and to create a platform that other applications can integrate. |
