Why 11 minutes?
The reason it's 11 minutes instead of just 5 minutes like everyone else,
it that we're talking about a user that has never user obsurvey before, ever.

The user in the video has never used obsurvey before.

About obsurvey
I love the internet.
Obsurvey is me giving something back, in return for all the great stuff out there.
It's been a free service since 2007.
Hi I'm Allan Ebdrup
I'm ther owner of Copenhagen Code, the creators of obsurvey
Obsurvey is an online tool for conducting your own online surveys, with your own
questions.
It's is 100% free, and there are no limits and no ads, as long as you don't use
it for anything illegal.
The idea is that you:
Create you own survey right here on this website, using the obsurvey
tool.
When you have created your survey, you are given a link to a webpage
(a URL). You can send this link in an email, to the people you
want to answer your survey. Or you can embed the survey
directly in at post on your blog or a page on your website.
The people you have sent the link to, click the link and answer your survey,
or your visitors take the survey directly on your blog or website if you have embedded
it.
When the people have answered your survey, you come back to this website and see
an automatically generated report of what was answered.
I hope you will enjoy using obsurvey. Try it out and let me know.

Vision: A survey in 5 minutes
We want you to have an incredibly easy time using obsurvey. You
should only have to spend 5 minutes creating an average survey.
For that reason we continually test obsurvey and continually
improve the already unique user experience of obsurvey for the better.
Every single feature we add to obsurvey, we try to implement in the best possible
way. We spend a lot of time on each thing. So you will not
find a list of features that's a mile long. Instead you'll find
a Short list. But each item on the list is implemented
in a unique way, with a lot of attention to detail and extreme amounts of thought
and innovation. All to make sure you will find it extremely easy and
fast to use and powerfull enough to get the job done.
We listen to you. If you send me an
email, I always respond.
Obsurvey can handle thousands of answers
We've build obsurvey to handle quite a lot of survey responses.
You can safely collect thousands of responses.
Just promise not to sue us if anything goes wrong. If you plan
to use it for tens or hunderds of thousands of answers, please drop us an email
at allan@obsurvey.com first.
Help us betatest or develop
If you would like to contribute to the development of obsurvey, either by betatesting
stuff before it's releases. Or by writing code for obsurvey. Please send us an email.
Contact
We would really like any feedback you may have on what you think
of obsurvey, so we can improve it. Send me a message either in the
feedback forum or by email.
I've written an article about undo functionality in web applications entitled Where did undo go?.
Obsurvey uses my Structured Active Rich Document (SARD)
principles, that you can see in action when editing a survey's questions.
We have developed our own JavaScript framework we call Usability in the Application
(UIA), for developing
AJAX web applications. web applications. Basically the whole application consists
of one single large javascript and some serverside webservices.
