A research project to develop a new form of social data collection combining the best features of quantitative and qualitative methods, All Our Ideas uses the power of the web to create a data collection tool with the scale, speed, and quantification of a survey while still allowing for new information to percolate from respondents as happens in interviews, participant observation, and focus groups. Github hosts the project, conducted by Professor Matthew Salganik in the Department of Sociology at Princeton University and funded in part by a Goolgle Faculty Research Award.
