A place for market and social researchers to share views, to look at new tools, to explore job opportunities, and to simply hang out.

New Member?

Are you a new member?
We are planning a proper section for newcomers. But here are a few key points:

1) Your page can be styled in lots of ways, look at others and see what they have done.

2) Get rid of your grey head. If you don't want to show your picture, pick a avatar, some clip art or a radom picture to mark your space.

3) On your page there is a place where you can blog. All new posts also appear on the Main page of the network.

4) There are loads of discussions in the forums, feel free to join in.

5) We have some interest groups, for example Ethnography and Lime Surveys, check them out, join them if you find them interesting.

6) The bigger the network, the more useful it is, so please invite you friends, use the invite tab to make this easier.

A Wiki for Market Research

Come and help create a market research wiki, a place to share our knowledge.
This project is just starting, so there is not much to see yet, but you are welcome to becoma an innaugral editor.

The wiki can be found here.

 

The history and the challenge

Below is a slideshare presentation by new MRSpace member Paul Schumann. Some may quiblle with details, and perhaps be moved to suggest more non-US additions.

However, the first 100 slides are a great resource for all of us, and the last 20 raise interesting ideas.

Twitter in Plain English

Great video from CommonCraft about Twitter.

Social Media Done Right - A Contest That Helps Promote Your Business

They send me periodic updates. When I saw their email in my inbox I quickly… Continue

The Numerati

This is a well researched and written book about the application of mathematics to almost everything we do.. The author is reporting on trends in the workplace, shopping, politics, journalism, terrorism, health care, and relationships. He does not advocate nor does he attack the trends he’s reporting on.

The book could have been subtitled, “We Are Numbers”.

I found myself deeply disturbed by some of the trends he describes. It’s not only the invasion of privacy that concerns me, but the “wrong… Continue
