boagworld.com survey

Posted in Podcast on: Saturday, October 8, 2005 by Paul Boag

Boagworld.com continues to grow at a scary rate and it is important to me that people get the most out of it. That is why I have put together a short survey, which I am asking people to complete.

Because of the growth in the site, I have started considering new features such as forums, chat events, and online/offline seminars. However, I am conscious that there are many other people out there doing similar things so I don’t want to start something if there just isn’t the demand.

If you read boagworld.com regularly or if you listen to our podcast, we would love to know what you think. The survey I have put together will take less than two minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.

Thank you to everybody that took the boagworld.com survey. Your feedback is appreciated and we are now considering the results.

To illustrate you how distracted I was when I started taking the survey; when your first start the survey, it has a progress bar that shows partially completed at 12%. I kept flipping back and forth between what I was working on and the survey waiting for the bar to get to 100%. Then I realized, it’s not loading a survey, it my current position in the survey.
I need more coffee…

Done, and done! Usability aside, it was easy enough to tell where you were going with it.

Why not leave the survey up indefinitely so that it is gathering info on an ongoing basis?

Because it was a free trial survey and I am too tight to pay for the real thing! Maybe I will make my own if I find time.
