About us

Survcast.com is a free speech engine

Survcast.com represents the first by the people for the people news analysis service!

Think of us as The Social Opinion Network™

It's a place where users refer and discover content from around the web such as news, blogs, videos, and images. Using a simple Question and Answer workflow they create and respond to Survs™. A "Surv™" is a member contributed news survey that organizes user feedback in ways that existing comment features simply do not support. The process is so efficient that millions of people can share their opinions on virtually any subject within minutes, and in measurable and actionable ways. It's a fun, entertaining, and empowering way to support your cause or views!

When people rise up on a large scale, other people take notice. Survcast provides the ideal format for this to occur. Companies, publishers, and advertisers alike can monitor results to improve their offerings and because Surv results are exposed in aggregate privacy is always insured!

The power of anonymity

Your privacy is our number one concern. To ensure that our users feel comfortable expressing their true opinions Survcast.com does not reveal user identities in relation to Surv™ (survey) or poll answers. Answers are displayed in aggregate to ensure privacy while exposing public opinion for the benefit of our community and advertisers. Note: if you are the second user to answer a Surv the creator of the Surv will know how you answered. Other than this exception there is no way for other users to determine how you answered. To learn more please review our terms of use and privacy policy.

Introducing Services

The Survcast community works together to analyze news on their terms! Here's how: our members refer content from around the web such as news, blog and video posts. Using a multiple-choice question and answer format they create their own Surv. A “Surv” is a user contributed news survey. Members then share their Surv with our community, and many of the social networks that support Survcast including Twitter and Facebook. As others weigh in by answering Surv questions this increases the Survs count indicating that public opinion is being measured.

Each week we open our polls. At this time Survcast.com notifies our entire community and invites them to take the Top Ten most popular Survs for that week. This increases exposure for Survs that qualify, which in turn increases audience reach for content owners such as publishers and bloggers. The difference between Survs and polls is that Survs are shared by our users within our community, but polls are promoted by our system to entire community.

Before creating a Surv we suggest that you review the feature descriptions below. Then review some Survs created by other users to learn how it works:

You will see buttons for open polls, poll qualifiers stories, past polls, and upcoming stories. Click the “help” button in the upper right navigation section of each page to learn how these lists work.
About Survs

On the home page, for example, click the Story-title-link, or Surv-it button to view and answer Surv questions for any given story. To access the story source website to read the entire story click the “Read full story” button.
Popularity

Each time a Surv is taken the count increases. Once you complete the Surv, you will be able to see your results as well as how others answered.
Submitting Content

Every post requires that you create at least one, or up to five questions and answers related to the content you are referring. The process is easy. Locate the “submit new story” button, click, and follow instructions. The best way to learn how to create fantastic Survs is to read and take a few created by other members
Polling

Each Friday at 12:00 noon the current Poll Qualifiers stories enter our polling process, and the poll for the previous week closes. When polls open we alert our entire community and invite them to weigh in with their opinions. Survs that qualify for poling gain huge exposure!

Note: Survs can qualify for polls repeatedly
Searching and browsing

To search simply locate our search box, type your keywords, and click return. To browse you have two choices (1) locate a topic of interest such as “sports” and click the button. This will take you to all sports content, or (2) click the arrow next to sports and a list of sub categories will be displayed e.g. basketball. You can then click a sub-category to see related content.
