摘要：AbstractThe multi-characteristic synthesis of internet and social network users (different nationality, age, education level, interests) renders these platforms powerful tools, suitable for many purposes. Until now, businesses use them for marketing, political candidates for their election campaigns, information networks for news updates, companies for recruitment and, most recently, nations for revolutions. In this paper, the use of social networks for conducting transport surveys is presented. The integration with e-mail providers broadens their use and makes them more suitable for data collection. In addition, statistics regarding discussions (tweets) with words related to the survey's subject were extracted from Twitter and evaluated. Since the applications of social and other internet networks are always developed, their use for internet surveys should be further examined in the future.
