Palo Alto, CA, May 15, 2009 -

In 2007, YouGov, a leading online market research company in the United Kingdom, acquired Polimetrix, the firm that manages PollingPoint.

As a result of that acquisition, you'll notice several cosmetic changes to PollingPoint.com and our survey system in the next week and months ahead. The first big change happened on May 14th, and you should be seeing it now both here and any time you take a survey with us.

Rest assured that despite the changes you see it's still the same great site running underneath, and none of the features you love have changed.
