References include anyone who may know or be aware of a target person. Survey question is simple. Survey process is quick and easy. It enables gathering opinions from all or the majority of references who are available to do it.

1 . A method performed for conducting at least one survey session on a target person comprising:
 1) obtaining information of said target person and at least one reference, said method arranged such that said at least one reference may be anyone who may know or may be aware of said target person and may be available to take said at least one survey session;   2) generating said at least one survey session for said at least one reference using electronic means;   3) obtaining survey information from said at least one reference, said survey information related to said target person;   4) transmitting said survey information to a survey database via a communication network or electronic device; and   5) said at least one survey session arranged automatically using algorithm.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1  wherein said at least one reference is selected automatically by a survey system. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1  wherein said survey session includes a substantially simplified question, said survey session arranged to be completed after response to said question is received. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1  wherein said at least one survey session is arranged to show up with other survey events. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1  wherein said at least one reference represents at least ten percent of references who are available for taking survey. 
     
     
         6 . A client system having a display and stored executable instructions, comprising:
 1) connection component for connecting said client system to an electronic device or a communication network;   2) survey means for generating a survey window on said display for conducting a survey on a target person;   3) said client system configured for presenting a substantially simplified survey question in said window and receiving a substantially simplified survey answer from a reference;   4) said question and answer related to said target person, said survey arranged to be concluded after said answer is received by said client system; and   5) transmission means for transmitting the survey related information to a survey database via said device or said network.   
     
     
         7 . The client system according to  claim 6  wherein said reference is selected based on information related to said target person by a survey system automatically. 
     
     
         8 . The client system according to  claim 6  wherein said survey is arranged by said survey system automatically. 
     
     
         9 . The client system according to  claim 6  wherein said survey is arranged to be presented with other survey events staged on said display. 
     
     
         10 . The client system according to  claim 6  wherein the appearance of said survey is partially related to the activity of said reference, said activity unrelated to said survey. 
     
     
         11 . A method performed for conducting a plurality of survey sessions comprising:
 1) obtaining information of a target person;   2) obtaining the contact info of a plurality of references regarding said target person using algorithm, said method arranged such that said plurality of references may know or may be aware of said target person;   3) arranging a plurality of survey sessions on said target person using electronic devices, said plurality of survey sessions arranged for said plurality of references respectively;   4) obtaining survey information from said plurality of references after said plurality of survey sessions are concluded, said survey information related to said target person;   5) transmitting said survey information to a survey database via a communication network or electronic device; and   6) said method arranged such that said plurality of references include at least ten percent of references who are available for taking survey.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11  wherein said plurality of references are selected automatically by a survey system. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 11  wherein said plurality of survey sessions each include an option to be concluded after response to a substantially simplified question is received. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 11  wherein at least one of said plurality of survey sessions is arranged to show up alongside other survey events. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 11  wherein the appearance of at least one of said plurality of survey sessions is partially related to the activity of the corresponding reference, said activity unrelated to said plurality of survey sessions. 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 11 , further including sorting said survey information based on the reference information.
