Urtak was a no-cost, interactive public opinion platform established in 2008 and headquartered in New York City. It allowed individuals to design surveys for their communities, enabling participants not only to respond but also to contribute new questions. The answers appeared immediately as pie charts, with questions shown in random order and restricted to three response choices: "yes," "no," and "don't care."
The platform debuted with its initial survey titled "The General Interest Urtak." By 2013, the site had hosted upwards of 13,000 surveys, which included more than 77,000 questions and accumulated over 22 million answers. On September 16, 2013, Urtak declared that it would discontinue its service effective September 20, 2013.
