Abstract: Techniques for enabling interactive (e.g., two-way) electronic communication between survey/polling administrators and anonymous survey/polling respondents. In one set of embodiments, a user (e.g., respondent) can access and provide responses to a particular survey or poll. The responses can then be routed to an administrator or manager of the survey/poll in a manner that keeps the identity of the respondent hidden. Upon receiving the responses, the administrator can interactively communicate with the respondent while maintaining the respondent's anonymity.

Abstract: Techniques for enabling interactive (e.g., two-way) electronic communication between parties where one party remains anonymous. In one set of embodiments, a system is provided that can store anonymous and non-anonymous identifiers for a group of users. The system can receive, from a first user, an anonymous message addressed from the anonymous identifier of the first user and addressed to the non-anonymous identifier of a second user. The system can then deliver the anonymous message to the second user. The system can further receive, from the second user, a reply message in response to the anonymous message that is addressed from the non-anonymous identifier of the second user and addressed to the anonymous identifier of the first user. The system can then deliver the reply message to the first user. In this manner, the first and second users can communicate interactively while maintaining the anonymity of the first user.
