MeFi Reader Survey

May 21, 2007 2:46 PM

So, I was all set to take the survey which is mentioned at AskMe (right-hand side, under the list tags/post block)

"MetaFilter Readers. Support this site and its advertisers by participating in a brief survey: questionmarket.com."

Unfortunately, this is the result when clicking on the link: "The website you're looking for cannot be found. The website may no longer exist, or may have moved."

I think there is an extra http in the link.

yeah, I'll get the ad people to change it and let me style that text which currently is a freaking eyesore

That's true. Try this link instead.

Woah, how long's that been there? I've never noticed it before.

I can't even find it. Where again?

Log out, and go to a thread. It's in the top-ish area, to the right. It squishes the OP text to the left for me (in Firefox).

Cool -- the new blue box looks much better and works as a link to the survey.

Oh. Heh.

Oh shit, I didn't see the comment pages. I fixed it.

So now wondering: Do we all get the same survey? I just tried it and got a survey about "cause-related" marketing and instant messaging. If we all talk about this, we will skew the survey results? :-)

it was supposed to be something about IM for some company wanting to do charity crap, so yeah, I think everyone is getting the same thing.

It looks very nice against the blue background of the main site. Not quite so nice against the green background of Ask MeFi, though.

However, the survey itself has a professional white background.

"What do you think the 'i'm' in the ad represents?"

"The ontology of messaging?"

I'm glad to see we feel the same way about this.

I see it in AskMe while logged in. Not that I mind, but reporting for accuracy.

Well, now I am aware of MSN chat/charity program, so I guess the "survey"/ad worked.

"Thank you for your interest. You cannot take this survey because you do not enable questionmarket.com cookies."

I'm logged in, IE7, from the green main page.

Mmm. Cookies.
