The Verge Tech Survey.

How do Americans feel about Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Twitter and Amazon? The Verge teamed up with Reticle Research to find out from 1,520 Americans between 28 September to 10 October 2017. The article presents a graphical summary of their findings.

The Verge is an ambitious multimedia effort founded in 2011 to examine how technology will change life in the future for a massive mainstream audience. Their original editorial insight was that technology had migrated from the far fringes of the culture to the absolute center as mobile technology created a new generation of digital consumers. Now, we live in a dazzling world of screens that has ushered in revolutions in media, transportation, and science. The future is arriving faster than ever.

Reticle Research was founded in 2012 with the mission of helping media and research companies improve their business via integrated insight-driven knowledge products. Since its founding, Reticle has expanded to include Reticle Signature, its original, branded services that include Backerjack Research, and Reticle Select, a service that provides independently produced research to work in conjunction with marketing programs. Its media partnership business is now known as Reticle Connect.
