During a three-month period, respondents are being recruited into Peanut Labs' social media sample group through Nexon's library of online games, including the world-famous franchise MapleStory, the fantasy title Mabinogi, and the fast-paced first-person shooter Combat Arms. Participants will receive credits that can be redeemed within the in-game NX shops in Nexon's game titles. Currently, over 200 million social gamers and users of social networks can earn virtual goods and credits by participating in Peanut Labs surveys and alternate-monetization offers.

"There is huge demand for insight into teens' behavior," said Sean Case, Senior Vice President of Peanut Labs. "Now that Facebook has embraced Peanut Labs surveys as a means of earning Facebook Credits virtual currency, we have unrivaled access to learn what teens want. Partnering with Nexon further extends our reach to teens who play the hottest social games and MMOs."
