Would you torture a prisoner to find out where your kidnapped child is hidden? Are you racist? What type of chocolate do you prefer? If you’ve got a question you’d like answered right away by polling 500 people from around the world, Ask500People is the place to find out what other people are thinking. In real time you can watch how people vote on the current question being polled.
As people answer, the results continue to add up and you can see from where each voter has voted on a Google map. Questions are answered by 100 people at a time within a couple minutes, so you get the results of the vote very quickly. It’s fun to watch and see how votes may be influenced based on the voter’s country. You can also comment on any given poll and see how many people are currently online and watching live the results to that poll. You can ask a question, but it wont be asked until a certain number of people have voted for the question to be asked.
The site also has a premium service for companies looking to get fast, independent input. This is for if you have a question like “which logo do you like better?” Or “click on the better ad.” Or “would you purchase groceries online?” Questions with externally-focused decisions involving short, multiple choice-like answers are the questions that would benefit from being asked on Ask500People, rather than just getting the assessment of your friends and colleagues. If you sign up for a premium membership, the answer to your poll is kept private and the question is asked immediately. Your company’s identity is kept private as well. So whether you just want to find out the answer to some random question or you need to poll an independent global community quickly, Ask500People is the service for you.
Ask500People.com In Their Own Words
“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.”
Why Ask500People.com It Might Be A Killer
They have a ton of people already using the site, since questions polling 100 different people get answered within a couple minutes, so obviously enough people are visiting the site to reach 500 people in a timely fashion. The application is fun to use since you get to watch the results in real time and see how people vote from different parts of the globe. They’ll easily be able to make a profit based on their premium membership offer and the page where they give all of the reasons as to why their site is worth the price.
