Description
Ask500People is brought to you by the zesty folks at Wondermill, which was inspired by James Surowiecki's 2004 best-selling book "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.
Tools exist for surveying groups of independent voters, but they're either slow, expensive or both. Ask500People was built to gather input and opinion data in minutes instead of days, and to create a platform that other applications can integrate.
