I started looking into survey software again this week. With a couple of new book projects on the burner, I need a way to rapidly pull in information from the flock. And I need it to happen with no intervention or manual entry on my part.

It’s been a while since I needed to do a web survey … sheesh, it’s been a few years … and the landscape has changed dramatically. At that time, I had set up a survey to gauge the feasibility of a seminar related to a specific piece of software. I was able to poll the potential audience and get a grasp on whether it made sense or not.

Needless to say, the web survey software I used back then is no longer available. Yet another victim of the dot com meltdown, may it rest in pieces.

So I’m out looking at the web survey market again, trying out the survey packages that offer free trial offers, and it seems like there are more than a few possibilities.

I’ll let you know what I find …
