Some say social media will be the death knell for online panel research. Online panels have had a significant impact on the market research industry but social media is changing the game.

While social media research techniques offer an innovative way to conduct market research they should not occur in a vacuum. Market researchers can take advantage of the social media research trends by using research tools that incorporate the elements of social media with online panel research.
