A new video question and answer tool that is likely to revolutionize video communications for both personal and business purposes by Jabbits Inc., the Denver-based innovator of webcam consumer research. The new utility is located at http://www.jabbits.com and offers members of the Jabbits community the possibility to upload video of questions to which they are seeking answers, from webcams, mobile phones or camcorders. The free service allows other users to view those questions and upload answers, or ask questions of their own.

Jabbits has been created to bridge two fast-growing online categories - engaging video sites and interactive Q&A sites -- and defines the first truly-integrated service of its kind. Jabbits users have the option to record a Public Question, posted to the entire community, or record a Private Question where answers are solicited in a private, invitation-only environment.

Ben Little, a co-founder of Jabbits, stated: "The online question and answer space has gained dramatic traction over the past year. Several well-known companies have launched successful Q&A sites, but none have combined interactive user-generated video. Jabbits is entertaining, but it is much more than that. It engages users in a format that prompts answers to their questions in face-to-face interaction instead of a text-only format. Adding the human element establishes credibility that text-based sites can never achieve." Jabbits' principals, Steve Babb, Ben Little and John Williamson, said they see the Jabbits format as the future of interactive Q&A in a user-generated video environment that will continue to win rapidly adoption across the web.

Jabbits offers cutting-edge opportunities for companies of all sizes to tap a webcam-enabled community for qualitative market research. As an example, companies can post questions in the "Research Questions" section of Jabbits. Potential respondents then fill out a questionnaire to assess how well they meet specified demographic criteria. If they qualify, they are paid to answer Research Questions.


Steve Babb added: "This is an innovative approach that allows companies to transform user-generated video into business information. abbits is cost-effective, allowing rapid market research with turn-around time measured in hours instead of days, weeks or even months. Jabbits offers Fortune 500 companies an effective solution, but it also opens unique research opportunities and strategies for smaller enterprises that have until now been unable to afford more expensive forms of qualitative research"
