How Opinionaided works:
1. Anyone can download the free Opinionaided iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch application from the iTunes App Store by http://bit.ly/9aeB30, registering and answering questions from a variety of categories with a simple thumbs up or thumbs down, and the option of text comments.
2. Those wanting to ask their own question can simply chose a question and an associated image, determine the best category and demographic for it, and submit it for other users to answer. Users ask questions like “What do you think of SoundHound?” “What is the best way to find SXSW parties on my phone?” “Is Stubbs the best BBQ in Austin?”
After posing a question, users can immediately see results categorized by the percentage that responded positively or negatively as well as listing separately all the user comments. From there, consumers can reply back to the comments or create a new question for peers to vote on.
Opinionaided is currently available for your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or through any web browser. The company recently announced that it had secured $1.2 million in seed funding from venture capitalists General Catalyst, SoftBank Capital, Draper Fisher Jurveston and notable angels such as Mark Wachen, Jonah Goodhart, Karl Jacob, Vince Monical and ENIAC Ventures.
