Gongos Research Introduces i degreesCommunities 2009

AUBURN HILLS, MI, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Empowering clients with new ways to become immersed in online research
communities, Gongos Research launches i degreesCommunities 2009 -- an
advanced 2.0 platform that supports a new spectrum of research community
offerings. The new platform enables rich enhancements to its existing i
degreesCommunities and metaCommunity(TM) research environments, as well
as a new i degreesCommunity Lite offering.

The i degreesCommunities 2009 platform creates a highly interactive
environment for consumers, while offering clients greater versatility to
conduct and analyze research. Flashpoll capabilities have been enhanced
to give companies added flexibility to field questions and concepts that
require a quick turnaround. New features including a Qualitative Reader
and Data Plan allow clients the 24/7 ability to filter complex
qualitative and quantitative data within the platform itself, enabling
client users to quickly synthesize large amounts of raw data prior to the
delivery of reports.

With its introduction of i degreesCommunity Lite, Gongos Research offers a
"licensing plus" option that meets the demands of companies that want to
manage and moderate the community process within their organization. Also
new to its spectrum of offerings is the Quick Start Community -- a private
spin-off community that can be initiated through Consumer Village --
Gongos Research's own proprietary consumer community.

As an industry leader in developing and managing private research
communities for Fortune 500 companies, Gongos' research communities
represent nearly 25% of the company's overall business. It currently
manages 12 communities dedicated to the development and enhancement of
products and services, as well as shopping behaviors and attitudes about
green technologies.

"Our 2009 platform offers even more ways for companies to engage in
research communities, while maximizing their research budgets," says John
Gongos, president and CEO. "We work closely with corporations to determine
the right community environment for them and then develop and implement an
ongoing strategy to meet those needs."
