Who are you?

January 7th, 2008 by paulbradshaw

It helps to know who your readers are. So I’d like your help in completing a very tiny (four questions) survey I’ve created.

Click here to answer those four questions

I will publish the results here on the blog once I get 100 responses (anything below that wouldn’t be representative).

And to make it more entertaining, I’m going to make some guesses as to the results - and see just how far off I am. Feel free to join in the game - a prize to the closest guesses:

  • I think 20% of readers will be journalists, 20% management, 5% technical, 10% other, 25% educators and 20% students
  • The top five countries of readership: USA, UK, Australia, Ukraine, Brazil
  • 50% will not use RSS readers; 20% Google Reader; 15% Bloglines; 15% other
  • 50% won’t remember how they came across the blog; 15% links; 20% search; 10% Facebook; 5% blogroll

Many thanks for your help. Look forward to finding out how wrong I am…

Oh, and by the way: click here to answer those four questions. The survey is now closed.

UPDATE: The results are in.

  1. a 100 responses doesn’t make it more representative than 10 or 1.000 - except the 1.000 is close to the number of total readers in this period …

    booo… survey closed. I demand my democratic right!

  3. Knew someone would pick me up on the ‘representative’ line - yes, I know. As it happens, Surveymonkey will only take 100, which is a shame.
