Abstract
Opportunistic transmission of voting and/or opinion data can occur from a user's mobile device to a server. The user can be presented a form to complete, where the form is designed to facilitate gathering of opinion information. Opinion data gathered from the form can be opportunistically transmitted to a server, where transmission commonly occurs when a supplemental transmission takes place. The transmission can be received by a server and a user that provided the opinion and/or voting information can be rewarded, such as through a monetary payment. The opinion and/or voting information can be extracted and retained in storage.
