About this project

All Our Ideas is a research project to develop a new form of social data collection that combines the best features of quantitative and qualitative methods. Using the power of the web, we are creating a data collection tool that has the scale, speed, and quantification of a survey while still allowing for new information to "bubble up" from respondents as happens in interviews, participant observation, and focus groups.

The All Our Ideas team is lead by Matthew Salganik from the Department of Sociology at Princeton University. Current and former team members include: Dhruv Kapadia, Nadia Heninger, Bill Zeller, Karen Levy, Calvin Lee, Peter Lubell-Doughtie, Pius Uzamere, Josh Weinstein, Dhwani Shah, Bambi Tsui, and Adam Sanders.

Because All Our Ideas is a research project, we will be analyzing the data that you create. However, we will respect your privacy, and we will never sell your data to anyone. These issues are described more fully in our privacy policy.
