Howdy everyone,

This week I finished working on the first version of the service to run image surveys. I believe it will be useful for various categories of users (graphics designers and people selling stuff are just what comes to mind).

Admittedly, I worked on it before validating the market fit and not sure if it's even valuable to anyone enough to pay for it, but at least I had determination to finish it and ready to learn on my own mistakes.

Is it something you would be interested in using?

Have a look. All feedback is welcome.

Cheers!

Any particular reason why I cant just use facebook/twitter or other similar things for taking these surveys.

I ask people, opinions of whom I take as very valuable. So I dont really understand value in anonymous surveys. May be you need to look at copy of your website so that I understand why anonymous surveys are better for me.

The emphasis wasn't specifically on anonymous surveys. At some point I've got a suspicion that people don't use the service as they don't want to expose themselves.

As for why you can't do that on facebook/twitter, you can of course. The only thing which is missing is the framework to ask people (put together a nice page with images), collect the results (some server-side thing to record votes), and present them (a results page). Should you decide to make it yourself, I doubt that you'll have it all up and running in less than an hour, which is far more expensive than $2/$10 that I'm asking. Sounds reasonable?

One other aspect is that you get opinions of people that are non-geeks and just tell you what they like without thinking about how things are made (colors, composition etc). Fellow professionals or friends / family tend to give their extended opinions which aren't always "welcome".

And finally, many will find easy to collect a hundred of votes, but others will not. It just depends on your particular social network.

Makes sense?

Thanks!
