Systems and methods for surveying electronic messages prior to widespread distribution-publishing are disclosed. The system includes a publisher and surveying server, specifying a parameter for subsequent publishing and compiling a notification list of participants in a given survey. The system further includes a notification server, messaging user agents and a feedback module, collecting information regarding interacting with the message and transmitting this information to the surveying server. The method includes composing a message, specifying at least one parameter for subsequent publishing, compiling a notification list of in a given survey, selectively notifying the message to the participants in the notification list, viewing the message notified to the participants in notification list and interacting with the message. The method further includes collecting feedback information regarding the interacting with the message and transmitting this information to the surveying server. |

1. A system for survey sampling of messages prior widespread distribution-publishing thereof comprises:
(a) a system for automated and widespread distribution-publishing of electronic messages, over a computer network, characterized by utilizing feedback data of at least one selective notification of an electronic message over said computer network, performed prior to said widespread distribution-publishing, said system further comprising:
[a] at least one data storage unit having stored therein:
[1] a database of potential participants;[2] a notification list of a predefined group of participants;[3] feedback data of interaction of said predefined group of participants with at least one item of said electronic message;[b] at least one first computer, configured as a publisher, comprising a sending terminal, wherein said sending terminal is configured to perform at least for one function selected from the group consisting of:
[1] composition of at least one message subject to initial surveying, and[2] composition of at least one message subject to widespread distribution-publishing;[c] at least one second computer, coupled to said data storage unit, operable as a surveying server, configured to receive said at least one message subject to said initial surveying from said first computer, and further to:
[1] specify at least one parameter for inclusion in a subsequent automated and widespread distribution-publishing of said at least one message subject to said initial surveying, wherein said at least one parameter for said subsequent automated and widespread distribution-publishing of said message is selected from the group consisting of:
[i] a deterministic parameter, and[ii] a comparative parameter;[2] compiling said notification list of said predefined group of participants, wherein an attribute of said participants in said notification list meets a criterion for participation in a given survey;[d] at least one third computer, coupled to said data storage unit and/or said second computer, operable as a notification server, said notification server is configured to selectively notify said message subject to said initial surveying to said predefined group of participants in said notification list;[e] a plurality of fourth feedback providing computers, operable as a plurality of feedback enabled messaging user agents comprising:
[1] an input network terminal configured to receive said message notified to said predefined group of participants in said notification list;[2] a human accessible interface configured for:
[i] viewing said message notified to said predefined group of participants in said notification list, and[ii] interacting with said message notified to said predefined group of participants in said participants list;[3] a feedback gathering module configured to collect feedback data regarding said interacting with said message on said human accessible interface;[4] an output network terminal configured to transmit said feedback data to said surveying server. |
