Abstract
Recent internet developments permit reliance on the shared intelligence of groups for market research. We illustrate two applications in which users create content from their responses to open-ended questions. Both the 'user-created brainstorm' and 'user-coded open end' procedure prove useful for market research. We discuss the outcomes and show that the social and collaborative aspects of the applications positively influence user evaluations.
