SurveyMonkey has its eye firmly set on Asia. In an interview with TNW on the sidelines of Social Matters in Singapore, SurveyMonkey CEO Dave Goldberg told us that the online survey tools provider is taking steps to “make Asia what could be (its) biggest market eventually” — namely localization, as well as a launch for Android which dominates over iOS in many parts of the continent.
