The telephone. Random sampling. Electronic surveys. Dillman states that these are the three most significant advances in survey technology in the twentieth century (Dillman, 2000, p. 352). If one thinks about the impact of the telephone and random sampling, one can soon realize the potential of Web-based surveys.
A Web-based survey is the collection of data through a self-administered electronic set of questions on the Web. With Web-based surveys, the manager has control over the physical appearance and can create attractive and inviting forms. Web-based surveys can include radio buttons and drop-down lists that permit only one choice for the response. Check boxes allow multiple answers. Text boxes can be one line with a limited number of characters, or they may permit unlimited text entry.
Using a commercial survey product, this author has developed, administered, and managed over 80 Web-based surveys since April 2002. This article discusses advantages, limitations, design guidelines, and tips for conducting Web-based surveys.

| The following is taken from Research and Markets, (http://www.researchandmarkets.com).
Mobile phones represent more than 90% of all telephone lines in Africa. This year, market penetration is expected to pass the 50% mark, although subscriber growth is forecast by the authors to slow to around 20% per annum. However, several individual markets are still growing at more than 100% per annum and stand at only single-digit penetration rates: the continent’s most advanced markets have passed the 100% penetration mark.
Further market highlights mentioned by Research and Market include:
- mobile market penetration in Africa is expected to pass 50% during 2010
- at least eight African countries will have broken the 100% mobile penetration barrier by the end of the year while some African mobile markets are still growing at more than 100% per annum
