About PollBuzzer
PollBuzzer has a simple origin. As a management consultant, Noah Seton often relied
on expensive consumer research. But sometimes all a decision-maker needs is a quick
pulse-check of what the market is thinking. While Google and Wikipedia had made fact-finding instantaneous, there was no comparable solution for opinions.
So Noah set about finding that solution. What if he could harness the crowd-sourcing
potential of the internet and text messaging, but do it in a focused and representative
way? If he built a broad and deep panel of respondents guaranteed to provide immediate
survey feedback, he could provide almost real-time opinions to the businesses asking the
questions.
When Noah met Matt McLoughlin, a software architect who had spent his professional
life creating simple solutions to his clients’ most challenging technology demands, the
final piece of the puzzle came together.
Together they founded PollBuzzer, and now Noah and Matt are excited to introduce this
new, real-time consumer research tool.
