Bebosoft has announced Mediata Survey 3.0 (http://www.bebosoft.com/products/mediatasurvey), a major update to their Mac/PC solution that enables the non-programmer to author, host, and analyze online surveys.

Mediata Survey supports a variety of question formats, eliminates the cost of a survey hosting service, permits creation of an unlimited number of surveys for any number of sites, permits branching questions based on answers, and includes graphical, table, and text tools to analyze and sort response data. The application generates a flow chart providing a quick overview of all logic.

Surveys can be configured as public or by invitation only. Following the survey Mediata Survey can also do the data retrieval and analysis. The database may be tabulated, filtered, and searched. Tables, lists, and bar graphs may be generated from the data.

Mediata Survey requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. The price is US$99, and the software can be used for unlimited surveys and unlimited domains. The only limitation is that the customer install Mediata Survey on only one computer. A demo is available for download.
