Abstract: The opinion expression application enables a user of the client device to conduct a public-initiated open-ended poll that is event-time specific in duration to express likes and dislikes about anything and anyone associated with the event. A subject field on a user interface enables the user of the client device to choose exactly about what subject matter to express his/her opinion on, and then to express his/her opinion level by activating a single opinion level button that has a very specific meaning. A server aggregates the opinion level expressed by activating the opinion level button with all of the other cast opinion levels previously submitted by users of different client machines on this poll. The server feeds the aggregation of the cast opinion levels back to each of the client devices in near real-time to be displayed. The opinion expression application limits a time period when the user can cast an opinion level about the event.

Abstract: A system to conduct a public-initiated opinion poll on a media space or in a consumer space is discussed. Simple activation of software- or hardware-based buttons or otherwise by speaking into or tapping on a device are provided and enables the public to express its likes/dislikes about anything, anyone, anywhere, anytime and merely when he/she decides to do so. Hence, this system replaces the current survey-based paradigm in which the surveyor decides when to ask what, and how from the public.
