| The Internet has been a very successful communication mechanism for groups to exchange opinions, views, and information on many topics that human beings like to exchange information on. A surprising large amount of this historic exchange is available for searching (the exchanges are saved in electronic format on storage media). This represents a possibly unique database concerning how people feel about companies and their products. A researcher might obtain useful information on companies and products by searching these databases. This page takes you to sites that have such databases. |
