    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides a computer-assisted method for providing personalized product information to a user. A survey group comprising one or more members is defined and a personal information set relating to each member of the survey group, the personal information set comprising at least one variable relating to a personal characteristic of a member, is stored. A query set is sent over a computer network to the survey group, the query set comprising at least one question relating to the survey group's use of a product. Responses to the query set are received, over the computer network, from members of the survey group, and the responses are sorted based on the personal information set into a result set. The result set is stored at a central location. A user sends an inquiry over the computer network to the central location, the inquiry relating to information included in the query set.
