ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for allowing mobile device users to participate in an online survey community by entering opinions and reading opinions of other through their mobile devices. The mobile devices need not support the same protocol as the server that manages and provides the survey information. In particular, a system is provided in which users of WAP-enabled mobile phones can enter opinion information into their WAP phones immediately after an event that is the subject of a survey, even though a Web server that uses a protocol not supported by the phones manages the survey data. Further, a feature is provided to defer the transmission of the opinion data from the phone, thereby allowing the opinion data to be batched, or to be entered even when the phone network is not available.
