"People are faced with making decisions amid competing choices on a daily basis," says Leigh Raup, resident Public Relations Lead at Choozum.

People who use Choozum rely on its qualitative and quantitative core, and that's truly the underpinning value in our service."

Companies offering social decision-making services like Choozum have increased over the past year.

Choozum users can invite one, many or all Facebook friends to a survey, and each Facebook friend is instantly notified of the request. Survey responses are delivered back to the survey author immediately. In addition, the company stated they focused on both utility and entertainment value, in accordance with the usage patterns of its member base. While users wait to receive votes for surveys they've created and shared, they can also peruse any of 34 vertical categories, such as Fashion, Personal Style, Travel, and Celebrity, to cast votes on other Choozum members' surveys.
Choozum began introducing its service across university campuses throughout the United States earlier this year. The company's founders claim early adoption has been overwhelming particularly in the Greek life communities at schools such as Stanford and University of Pennsylvania.
