Before you read this post be so kind as and take our quick test survey on your mobile. Simply surf to:

de.mobiode.mobi

Before pointing out that “this can easily be done on the web, why the hell is he sending me to my mobile?”, bare with me, this has educational value. My only disclaimer is that proper use of the system would also mean receiving the link directly on your phone, but I guess the cost of sending messages was a factor.

What you experienced took me 5 minutes to set up.

Mobiode lets you create a survey and publish it in seconds. This is not new. The neat thing about Mobiode’s service is the following:

The surveys are adapted to WAP and therefore allow you to distribute the survey/poll to any mobile. This way you can reach your customers outside of their usually PC settings.
And on top of this:

1. Its extremely easy to set up the survey
2. There is a basic account that lets you publish one survey at a time for free. Not a money back guarantee. Not a 30 day trial. Free.

If this weren’t simple the whole package would not be worth it. While Mobiode doesn’t look as smooth or schique as 37signals, the execution is just as simple. And it makes all the difference.

I opened an account in seconds. Created a survey. Sent it (to myself first) and then to friends and collected the stats. No hassle, no complications, no ‘read the fine print’ - just did it.

The ability to connect to your users on their mobile and gain feedback in such a simple manner is of high value.

I recommend taking a look.
