Users create their own surveys or quizzes, adding items and selecting a format for each one.
As individuals take a given survey, the survey tool captures the results. The results can be saved to a file or emailed to a given email address. Readers can browse through messages written by other people and post replies. Users can become members of HyperNews or subscribe to a specific forum in order to get email whenever a new message is posted so that they won't have to visit the site to see if anything new has been added. A subscribed recipient can also send a reply back to HyperNews via email, rather than having to login via a browser to write the reply, and HyperNews will place the message in the appropriate forum.
