Google Make Your OWN Surveys....!!!(What ever you want make that your SURVEYS)

Google Consumer Surveys

Custom market research made easy

EASY STEPS:

1 People complete questions in order to access premium content.

2 Publishers get paid as their visitors answer.

3 You get nicely aggregated and analyzed data.

 Fast. Create surveys in minutes and access near instant Google-powered reports, charts, and insights. Affordable. Starting at $0.10 per response -1/10th of the cost of similar quality research. Accurate. Get statistically significant, valid results at scale from real people, not biased panels.

And now - free access to benchmark data! On an ongoing basis, industry benchmarks in the area of Customer Satisfaction will be collected and delivered, free of charge, within the Harris Poll and Google Consumer Survey platform. This will allow companies of all sizes and budgets to field the same survey questions for their business and easily compare their results to the free benchmarks.  

• Google’s primary focus is to monetize premium content for publishers. In this vein, the solution is more polling than full surveying capabilities.
• Pricing is somewhat elusive. For demo targeting, it’s $.50 per response. But they don’t clearly tell you that a response is a single question. A 20 question survey with a screener or demo targeting will be a $10 CPI.
• Analysis of the relationship between survey questions is difficult and sometimes not even possible because of the question number limitation. Each person only answers 1 of the 20, and Google aggregates the data, which makes deep analysis harder.
• Targeting is limited to just age, gender and census region.
• Timeliness constraints such as completing the survey in a timely manner, publisher inventory at the time and competition with other surveys.

 

Strengths:

• graphing/analytics solution
• statistical relevance measures
• tagging functionality

Drawbacks:

• custom audience misleading
• screeners ineffective
• inability to compare question answers
• delayed response rate

Second Sight glasses help cure blindness

Second Sight glasses help cure blindness and approved for sale in the U.S

A while back, when Google announced its innovative interactive glasses, we were beyond excited. Sure, they’re not the most fashionable creations, but they’re beyond cool, and really fun. But, to be completely honest, we have to admit: at the end of the day, for now, they really are likely just going to be an expensive toy that no one really needs.

So you can imagine how excited we got when we got wind of another innovative pair of glasses that actually serves an amazing function. Engadget reported that Second Sight, a technology company, just got FDA approval for the manufacture and sale of its Argus II retinal prosthesis. These amazing glasses have proven to help restore some vision to those suffering from blindness caused by retinis pigmentosa.



It’s a fairly rare disease, only affecting around 100,000 Americans, so don’t expect to see these glasses on the street every day. (Not to mention, of the low number of Americans that suffer from the disease, only a fraction will be able to afford such a cutting edge new technology.)

The glasses work by using a camera that is mounted between the lenses, which captures images and transmits them to an electrode that will have been surgically implanted onto the retina of the user. Though the images won’t be as perfect as someone with 20/20 vision, it will be a vast improvement for those with retinitis pigmentosa.

It’s taken quite a while for Second Sight to get approval to sell these glasses. They first introduced their creations almost ten years ago, but weren’t able to get the green light to sell in Europe until just two years ago.

We can’t help but hope this is just the first step in vision correction, and that one day we’ll see cures for all types of blindness.

HTC MINI – BUTTERFLY’S REMOTE CONTROL

HTC MINI – BUTTERFLY’S REMOTE CONTROL & HANDSET

HTC doesn’t have a smartwatch like the Pebble, but it does have the HTC Mini, an NFC-equipped remote control and handset accessory which will be exclusively offered in China alongside the HTC Butterfly.

The svelte handset – resembling an old candybar-style dumbphone – hooks up via Bluetooth to your Butterfly, so HTC suggests, and can be used for making calls without pulling the smartphone out of your pocket, as well as other things. 

NFC is used to pair the HTC Mini with the Butterfly – aka the non-US version of the DROID DNA – after which point it works as a remote terminal. In addition to calls, it can show messages on its monochrome display, calendar entries, and call logs.

However, it will also apparently work as a remote control, useful when the Butterfly is plugged in to your TV and used as a media device. Then, the Mini can navigate through menus when the Butterfly is tethered near to the screen via HDMI; it also looks like it can be used to trigger the shutter in the camera app.

Finally, there’s a handy “find my phone” feature which makes the Butterfly ring when you’ve put it down somewhere and can’t locate it. No word on how much the HTC Mini might cost, though we’re hoping the company releases it as an accessory in markets other than China.

Aside from serving as your “second phone,” the Mini can also be used as a remote control if your Butterfly is connected to a TV. With this installation, you don’t have to get up all the time to pause, play and rewind the video. Pretty cool.

I’m not sure I would use Mini myself, but I would definitely like to try it out. As I’m writing this, we’ve no information that HTC plans to bring this accessory to other parts of the world. Since most of the work is already done, I see no reason why they shouldn’t pursue this opportunity, helping the Butterfly differentiate itself from other similar smartphones.

So what do you say? Would you want an old-school dumbphone working in pair with a 5-inch smartphone?

GravityLight

Lighting for the developing countries

Official Site:

A realistic alternative to Kerosene lamps.

There are currently over 1.5 billion people in the World who have no reliable access to mains electricity. These people rely, instead, on biomass fuels (mostly kerosene) for lighting once the sun goes down. We propose a sustainable lighting solution powered by gravity.

GravityLight, an off-line project which is now at a working prototype stage.

GravityLight is a revolutionary new approach to storing energy and creating illumination. It takes only 3 seconds to lift the weight which powers GravityLight, creating 30 minutes of light on its descent. For free.

Credentials

We are Martin Riddiford and Jim Reeves, London based designers who have spent 4 years developing GravityLight as an off-line project. 

We work for therefore.com, which has over 20 years of experience in designing and developing hand held computing and communication products for a host of pioneers including Psion, Toshiba, NEC, TomTom, Inmarsat, ICO, Sepura, Racal Acoustics, Voller Energy, FreePlay and SolarAid.

No batteries to drain or replace.

We’re using a tried and tested manufacturer who has the right expertise to make GravityLight. We have some links to partner organisations in Africa and need to do the same for India. If you're part of an organisation and would like to get involved then please contact us. We are particularly looking for contacts in South America.

When it comes to the world of energy, there is no such thing as a free lunch. But it’s encouraging to see that the price for energy enough to light a small area has been reduced down to simply lifting a bag.

With GravityLight, however, it only takes a few seconds to lift the weight, which creates enough energy for half an an hour of light, whenever it is needed. It has no batteries to run out, replace or dispose of. It is completely clean and green.

GravityLight converts gravitational energy into light, just like its name promises. That’s right, you lift a bag filled with 20 pounds of stuff (sand, earth, whatever) and attach it to a cord. As gravity pulls the bag down, an LED light is illuminated, working kind of like those hand-cranked flashlights. A braking mechanism causes the weight to drop slowly, producing about 30 minutes of light, and returning the bag to its original height “restarts” the light.

Hang it in the shed or make it into a great porch light, you can clip on a hanging basket or anything weighing about 20lbs.

Following the initial inspiration of using gravity, and years of perspiration, we have refined the design and it is now ready for production. 

We need your help to fund the tooling, manufacture and distribution of at least 1000 gravity powered lights. We will gift them to villagers in both Africa and India to use regularly. 

The follow-up research will tell us how well the lights met their needs, and enable us to refine the design for a more efficient MK2 version. 

Once we have proved the design, we will be looking to link with NGOs and partners to distribute it as widely as possible. When mass produced the target cost for this light is less than $5.

LED bulbs do not attract mosquitos like conventional bulbs.

His net worth is $1.5 billion as of March 2012, according to Forbes report, and source of wealth is real estate.

The website for this real estate tycoon and investor is an absolute nightmare.
