Alex lives in Berlin, works as a freelance journalist and he is currently writing a story on
how the IT industry is growing in the city. He has several
unanswered questions like: “What are the main
nationalities of IT professionals in Berlin?” or
“When did they arrive in Berlin?
To find the answers and write a better story he
goes on DataCrowder.org and shares his goals. He
then creates a micro survey with the two
questions, posts it and shares it with his network.
