Q) What is the iColor® computer process ?
A) iColor® (EST: 2000) is the name of computer software, for use by the general public, that combines the input of five pre-defined color values collected from a multitude of input sources, to calculate and produce a single color representation, which provides the end-user with a visual correlation between the generated color value and a corresponding level of measurement, used to describe various degrees of status or condition.
This is our legal description!

Q) Why track people's moods and emotions ?
A) It’s a fun new concept in the world of Internet data and computers. For eBusiness it’s an important tool in helping form a unique bond with customers, in a way never before available to the general public. Users of the Internet will appreciate having an opportunity to express their feelings about a particular product, idea, or web site without having to fill out intrusive and time consuming forms. Companies will be able to identify problems or successes by viewing a single, easy to interpret color.

Q) How did you come up with the idea ?
A) We won't get into details as we would like to save that for the movie! But basically two friends got together and pondered over what would make the Internet more interesting.
Return
Q) How did you select the colors you use ?
A) We did a color study. We started with black as the color chosen for our "Terrible" mood. Black is well established as representing the dark side of emotions. But the opposite is white. Black and white, although they have many variations across the gray scale, are simply not as 3 dimensional as colors. They are flat and 2 dimensional. So we quickly moved to colors (as we had originally envisioned).
Human moods cover a spectrum of emotions. The rainbow found in nature, covers the spectrum of color. So we looked to the rainbow for some insight into the colors that should represent those emotions.
The rainbow gives you 6 main colors. Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.
To give us a solid middle selection, we needed to drop off one color. The logical choice was purple. Basically, purple is the underneath color of the rainbow. In the spectrum of color, it is the result of a transition from the primary color Red, which makes up the outer band of color in the rainbow, and the primary color Blue which makes up the inner band of color in a rainbow (not including purple). As it was important to maintain the primary colors at either end of our own color selection spectrum, out went the secondary color purple.
Blue is a natural "Great" color, in the rainbow and in our own psyche. Blue is the color of the sky and is often used to describe tranquillity. Red is connected with fire and brimstone. It is the color often used to describe anger. It also represents passion, but we must remember that passion can be very turbulent. Red is the outer portion of the rainbow (away from the center). We think of outer as outside where life is often chaotic. Blue is towards the center of the rainbow arc, which makes one feel closer to the center and more comfortable.
There is a flip side. Red could also be looked at as a happy color to some and it represents the "top" of the rainbow. Blue could mean you are feeling blue and sad. We could have gone either way on this one, but went with the selection that would more naturally reflect the mood felt by most people.
We had also thought of letting people flip the color selections, but this would cause confusion and take away the consistency we were looking for. When someone described their mood as "Red", we wanted to know for sure there was only one feeling they were describing.

Q) Will this service cost me anything ?
A) No! This service is free to the general public for enjoyment and knowledge. Only Website Mood Watch and portions of the Mood Polls function are restricted to paying customers (corporations and organizations).
Return
Q) Where can I go to see the "World" mood color ?
A) Two ways; Either click on the globe on our web site I Color My World .com that says "Mood Demographics" or simply click on the demographic mood color button to the right of the iColor My World button on the iColor Banner found on hopefully thousands of web sites all around the world.
Return
Q) What is the iColor Banner ?
A) The banner is simply a fun and completely non-intrusive informational banner used to collect and display the current moods of the Internet world.

Return
Q) How do I enter my mood color selection ?
A) Simply click on the color that reflects the mood you are feeling at the time on any iColor Banner on the World Wide Web. One more mouse click to verify the user information and that's it. Just two clicks and you are a part of a new standard in Internet technology.
Return

A) Absolutely! That’s what we’re hoping for. See the Install iColor Banner function.

Q) Why do I need to enter a UserID and password ?
A) So you won't have to enter your demographic information more than once. We tie this information to your logon UserID, then when you select you mood color in the future, you simply verify your logon UserID and click on Continue to quickly complete the process. Also, we use your UserID and password for other protected areas on the website, like Personal Mood Journals.
Return
Q) How do I change my password ?
A) Go to First Time New Users on the Mood Color Selection Function screen and notice that it also says existing users can update their information by clicking on the check box that is supplied.

Another alternative is to generate a new UserID and password, but you will lose any links you have to your existing information.
Return
Q) What about other users on my computer ?
A) As users that share the computer generate their own logon UserIDs, we will add them to a list of UserIDs tied to your computer. Then the matching UserID can be easily clicked on for the mood color selection process.
Return
Q) Why can I select a logged on UserID without re-entering a password ?
A) For speed. We want it to be as easy as possible to select a mood color when you want to. Requiring a password, if we find multiple users logged on, would slow you down. We assume that all users logged onto that computer will not abuse the logon protocol. Where security is more of an issue, like with the Personal Mood Journal, a password is always required.
Return
Q) I'm the only user on this computer, can I skip selecting my UserID ?
A) Go to First Time New Users on the Mood Color Selection Function screen and notice that it also says existing users can update their information by clicking on the check box that is supplied.

Return
Q) What is the Poll Sponsor ?
A) The Poll Sponsor is simply the name or ID chosen to represent the person or organization sponsoring the poll being created. You the poll creator are the Sponsor! Generally speaking, people use anonymous user IDs and companies or organizations use their business names. First time users must enter a name or ID to represent themselves. If you have already entered this information and have returned to add another poll, your name or ID will be contained within the pulldown list for your convenience. Simply select it from the pulldown list, enter your matching password, then click FIND and the billing information will fill in for you.

Return
Q) What is User Info used for ?
A) This information identifies the Sponsor representative. Although the service is currently free, this function is only intended for legitimate purposes by real individuals. We ask all users of this service to state their real information, feeling if you are unwilling to be identified with your work, it probably isn't appropriate in a public forum. This information is NEVER shared with the public in any way and will NOT be distributed to any external group, company or individuals for any purpose.
Return
Q) What is Billing Info used for ?
A) This is the information that not only identifies the Sponsor, but is used for credit card or other payment verification should any costs be incurred in building the poll. All costs will be shown before any commitment to payment is made by the poll builder. This information must accurately match the information kept by the monetary firm responsible for payment.
Return
Q) What is Poll Info used for ?
A) This is all the information that is used to identify the poll, and to customize the poll to your specific needs. Please note that two fields currently used to identify the poll to the system and user alike are record key fields, meaning they cannot be changed once they are set. They are poll topic and poll title. Once set, they cannot be altered, so please be careful when choosing and entering the poll topic and title. You can email us if you set one of these fields inadvertently to something you can't live with, but be reminded that making a change after the fact is a manual process that may take some time to correct.

You can also add a link address (URL) that allows navigation back to your web site when someone clicks on the image you have added. This feature does not diplay within the limited space of a Quick Poll.
Return
Q) What is Poll Link To ?
A) This feature allows the user to directly navigate to your web site or whatever web page is identified by this field. A link is attached to the sponsor name and also the poll image should one be selected for the poll. This provides you with an opportunity to generate some additional traffic to your own web site. It costs nothing to utilize and may provide some good exposure for your own efforts on the Internet. Not used with Quick Polls.
Return
Q) What is Poll Email Comments ?
A) When you set this field to your support email address, it creates a button for your poll that allows users to contact you with comments or questions. Just a word of caution here.

Return
Q) What is Archive Poll ?
A) Set this check box with a click if you want to end your poll early or you simply do not want the poll to display to the user community at this time. It will set the poll to an archived state and users will no longer see the poll publicly listed anywhere within this facility. The poll creater via the Sponsor name will still have access to the poll for editing purposes only. A common use for this check box is when you are building the poll. Let's say you only entered half the questions and do not want to display the poll until you have finished. Check this box and the poll will not display until you have completed the poll and are ready. At that time, simply uncheck the box with a click and users will have full access to the poll.
Return
Q) What is the Question Count ?
A) This number represents the total number of questions that have actually been utilzed for the poll.

Q) What is the Save Results by User option ?
A) Not currently available at this release level, this option will allow the selected answers to be associated with an individual. This will allow for testing and the use of exams where it is important for the results to be saved for each participant. Testing is useful not only in a training or schooling situations, but in determining the likes and dislikes of people when they join an organization, which helps a company to better respond to the needs of the individual.
Return
Q) What is the Extra Questions option ?
A) If you know you will be needing 13 questions and the function only provides 10, you will need to add 3 additional questions at poll create time. The ability to add additional questions at any point does not currently exist at this release level, so it is important to think ahead and plan your questions and answers in advance of building a poll or survey.
Return
Q) What is the Click for Totals Only ?
A) This option allows you to check for errors and to also pre-calculate what the costs will be to build the desired poll or survey. Please note that no costs will be incurred until the Accept box is clicked along with the Submit button. This only helps you determine the total cost of the options selected.
Return
Q) How do you create Polling Questions ?
A) You must first establish the billing and polling information found on the Create page. When you click the Accept box in addition to the Submit button, this will take you to the page where questions are defined and added to your poll. When actually adding questions to your poll, take advantage of our Answer Autofill option to quickly provide you with the more common answers often used in polls and surveys. But also realize that before you enter your own answers using the Multiple Choice or Hi to Low Answers, you must first select the answer type and click the Update button, which will provide you with the fields you will need to enter your own answers.
Return
Q) What is the Answer Autofill ?
A) Most polls and surveys have standard answers. We provide a mechanism to quickly select those standard answers. Also, it keeps the answers in a format that allows our iColor technology to provide accurate results. To utilize Hi to Low type answers (which most are), they must have the highest answer (Most or More) to the left, under the blue color, with the lowest answer (Least or Less) to the right, under the red color. If you don't like our standard Hi to Low answers you can select your own. Simply select "Your Hi to Low Answers", click on the Update button and it will provide little boxes where you can enter your own Hi to Low type answers. In doing so, you will also reap the benefit of the iColor technology, which will properly color code your answers for you. If you have completely random multiple choice answers, select that option, click on the Update button, and it will provide input boxes for those answers. But don't worry, you don't forgo the use of the iColor technology. We also utilize it with the multiple choice answers. We position the answer with the most responses to the left under the blue color and the answer with the next amount of responses under the green and so forth. We then calculate the iColor based on the position of the answers under the color buttons. What you get is an immediate color coded level of magnitude. If the iColor shows blue or blue/green, then the answers to the left are very predominate. If the iColor is yellow or even orange, then the votes are very even across the answers provided. iColor is a very powerful indicator of levels of magnitude as well as standard measurement!
Return
Q) How are the answer results cleared (answer counts set to zero)?
A) The answer counts are reset to zero if (1) You clear the question. or (2) You change the answer type. or (3) You change a Hi-Low or Multiple Choice answer. or (4) It is a brand new question being asked.
