Twitter As A Research Tool

Twitter has become an ocean of market research data just waiting to be explored. The Twitter advanced search function allows you to quickly find mentions of products, services and companies in specific context, acting as a free repository of general and honest conversation where a wide range of information can be gathered.

To gain even more insights you can survey your Twitter followers directly and watch as your survey reaches others in the twitter community through re-tweets and hash tags. Whether you want to test out a new product concept or find out the most popular theme among your friends for a party, SurveyRock is a great tool for both personal and business surveys. With SurveyRock you have the ability to view real-time results of your survey as well as share survey results with friends, colleagues, customers and site visitors.
