MobileXpression

Have you heard about MobileXpression? I just got an email from Opinion Square about MobileXpression, maybe Opinion Square is expanding to mobile users? They are both partnered with comScore, Inc., a U.S.-based market research company that is a nationally-recognized authority on Internet and general economic trends. I took some time checking out MobileXpression, it seems like an okay deal. You do have to install some software on your phone so that they are able to monitor each mobile users internet surfing trends. For example they want to know if certain websites are accessed more via computer or mobile device. They state that they will never record phone numbers you call or receive and the software is only used to monitor your surfing trends. They will also occasionally do phone surveys. It doesn't directly state if each phone survey will be compensated, but in another section it states,

"You’ll be rewarded when you join MobileXpression. In addition to the incentive you receive for joining today, we provide our MobileXpression members with opportunities for cash, gift cards, and merchandise. And all MobileXpression members are eligible to participate in the "Your Opinion Matters" sweepstakes which offers a chance at the Grand Prize of $100,000. One winner will be chosen each month who will win $100 and will then have the chance to win $2500, $5000, or even $100,000."

It looks like their panel is international, from the list of mobile carriers they have about 20 or more listed. When you signup they also have you pick out your phone manufacturer and your phone model, if your phone isn't listed you can still signup but you can not participate until your mobile device is added to their list. When they add your mobile device they will email you letting you know so you can start using the software.

I don't have internet on my phone so I am passing on this one, but I'm sure there are people out there that use their mobile device to search the web all the time. If you like surfing the internet on your phone might as well join the panel and get something out of it.
