At the 2009 MRA First Outlook Conference, Owen Shapiro of LJS Associates and Tom Malkin of GeeYee, Inc. presented "The Impact of Social Media on Market Research". In order to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of social media research, LJS conducted phone and social media research into the Tropicana unrepackaging incident.
