NASHVILLE, TN, November 25, 2008 - 20/20 Research, Inc., a national provider of fieldwork services, announced today that its QualMeeting^TM software now allows researchers and study participants in 36 different countries around the world to call in to online qualitative research studies using only local phone numbers - incurring no long distance charges.

According to Steve Henke, President at 20/20, "The last barrier for conducting face-to-face, online qualitative research internationally was the incredibly high cost of the overseas phone calls. We've eliminated those. Now researchers can take full advantage of our QualMeeting^TM - nearly anywhere in the world - and not worry about having to deal with those expenses."

These new telephony enhancements have also added to the output options of QualMeeting^TM. In addition to the online video recording previously available, users can down download an audio-only MP3 file immediately after the close of a QualMeeting^TM study - at no additional charge.

QualMeeting^TM, developed for market researchers who want to conduct live, online 1-on-1 interviews and focus groups, takes advantage of webcam technology and streaming video to provide a new generation of software for "face to face" research. It combines the convenience, cost savings and broad-reaching recruiting of online research with the real-time responses and the sights and sounds of in-person meetings.
