What it does:
StickyMoose is a simple and free tool to share ideas and make group decisions with your friends.
Why?  Well, if you want to organize a social activity with your friends, you often need to agree on the what, when and where.  For example, where are we going out next weekend?  Or, which birthday present should we buy for our friend Tom?
Nowadays we use email and social media to share ideas and try to reach consensus.  Unfortunately, that’s just not efficient.  Before you know it, your mailbox is flooded by a tsunami of replies-on-replies.
To get rid of these email tsunamis, we’ve built StickyMoose (www.stickymoose.com).  It allows you to put any question (what needs to be decided) online, invite your friends to share their ideas and vote on each other’s ideas.  It’s a more efficient way to reach a decision.  And because every participant can share his own ideas, StickyMoose is different from traditional tools for polls and voting.

How it beats the competition:
It’s free, fast and no registration is required. Unlike Doodle or other poll sites, all participants can add ideas and vote on each other’s ideas

How it beats the competition:
Around the turn of the century online survey technology was revolutionary.  Gone are the days of the door-to-door survey, the telephone survey, the fax machine survey, and the in-person focus group.  Business professionals are now able to construct survey questions online and connect with users via the web browsers

However, in today’s world, with the explosion of mobile computing, the technology that powers the $2B survey software market must once again fundamentally change.  Why?  Because our audiences now expect every experience they have with every company to be incredible on the device they wake up with, eat with, sleep with, and live with:  the smartphone.  Furthermore, the adoption of modern apps like Youtube, twitter, instagram, and facebook have retrained our audiences to expect simple, visually-rich, engaging experiences on our mobile devices

Today there are 1.5 Billion smartphones, and in a short number of years we will see 5B smartphones globally (source: http://bit.ly/1a7Ev4L).  Already, around 50% of all surveys are opened on a smartphone or tablet, that’s +330% growth in the last 2 years alone. (source: http://bit.ly/1a7Ettu). How will your company evolve in this rapidly changing world, and how will you and your colleagues continue to make great business decisions?
