Toluna Extends QuickSurveys with 'Ask the Nation'

Online panel and survey technology firm Toluna has rolled out its QuickSurveys DIY tool to a further 20 countries, and added a new 'Ask the Nation' feature which enables companies to link survey results to census data.

QuickSurveys was launched in 2008 to enable anyone to create short, targeted surveys which can deliver thousands of responses to up to 15 questions over a period of 24 hours.

The tool is free of charge to anyone who targets their own respondents via e-mail, blogs, Twitter or Facebook. There is also the option to access Toluna's community to obtain real-time feedback from respondents.

Adding to its existing availability across the US, UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany, the tool has now been released in 20 new markets: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, India, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Russia, South Korea, Sweden and Switzerland.

Commenting on the roll out, Mark Simon, MD and leader of the Global Technology Practice, said: 'This shows our commitment to conducting DIY research in all corners of the globe. Furthermore, the 'Ask the Nation' feature allows users to balance their results against census data; ideal for companies seeking projectable data. It's truly a democratising force in the industry, enabling anyone to conduct research anytime, anywhere.'
