Great news – what’s in ze bag this month is a request from last month. We’re putting the finishing touches on the coming update. I’m reeeeally excited.

Ask500People is brought to you by the zesty folks at Wondermill.com. In 2004 James Surowiecki wrote a best-selling book called “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. Wondermill built Ask500People to gather input and opinion data in minutes instead of days, and to create a platform that other applications can integrate.
