Thanks, Mark!

I’d love to talk integration sometime. One of my plans for the next release is to begin stabilizing and documenting the API for external app integration. You can already do some stuff automatically using the XML and CSV export features, but it’d be nice to let other apps do more detailed manipulation of survey data.

With CommYou in particular, the use case that immediately comes to mind for me is informal, single-question surveys that you respond to by IM. I’m sure there must be plenty of other interesting ones too, and I’d certainly be interested to chat about the possibilities.

Looks neat! At some point, we ought to talk about integration — even if the amount of cross-promotion between Journey and CommYou was small, I suspect we’d both learn a lot from talking about how an integration path might work. I’ve been pondering the appropriate relationship of CommYou to survey engines; talking through a concrete example would be great, and we might even come up with some APIs to play with.

And heaven knows, the two potentially synergize nicely. (Although CommYou is currently further behind in implementation, due to my release-3 ground-up rewrite.) I specifically want CommYou to stick to its knitting as much as possible, focusing on conversation — that implies that I need some way to integrate nicely with one or more third-party survey engines…
