John
Craig of the Pittsburgh Indicators Project and John Dick of
Civic Science will present The Pittsburgh Opinion Exchange (“POE”),
a collaboration spearheaded by PittsburghToday, for the purposes
of capturing and measuring the opinions, demographics, and behaviors
of local residents. The POE will rely on web-based polling ‘widgets’
distributed across the web sites of participating non-profits,
online media, and corporations. These widgets will deliver weekly
three-question polls designed to ascertain key attitudinal and
demographic indicators.
Getting
involved is simple. This meeting has been set up for marketing,
public relations and IT professionals to learn how your organization
can participate and support this project. And we will be asking
for your input on the many questions that can be answered.
You can
learn a lot about the people that visit your website with
this tool, and we, the arts community, can learn a lot about
our audiences as a whole. Register yourself and your colleagues
today!
