Using a new social networking platform called MIMIEO, graduate students at Northwestern University will poll thousands of fans during the 2008 Super Bowl ads. After each quarter of the game broadcast on Fox on February 3rd, the student's website will compile feedback from fans on how much they liked the ads, and whether the commercials will influence future purchasing decisions.
The new technology will allow users to submit feedback from multiple sources simultaneously to include: Facebook (using the PickMe application), the Apple iPhone, Internet enabled mobile devices, as well as the website http://www.votesuperbowlads.com .
Facebook users will connect to the polling service using the PickMe application launched earlier in 2008. All other users will submit feedback using the video enabled website http://www.votesuperbowlads.com .
Participants will be asked to rate how well they liked each ad (from happy to upset), as well as how likely they are to purchase the advertisers products or services in the future.
Following the game, a panel of Northwestern University graduate students will analyze the results, as well as publish a detailed report on the winners and losers of the game.
ABOUT MIMIEO:
