We are conducting a University of Missouri research study aimed at exploring the use of Internet forums and we are especially interested in Apple enthusiasts. The study consists of a =~ 20 minute survey. Everyone who fills out the survey will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card. If we can get at least 50 people from this forum to complete this survey, then we will have a gift card drawing dedicated to this forum.

Whether you are a longtime member or simply read the forum and have never registered, we want to learn about how you are using this technology. The survey will be totally anonymous and the information will never be provided to a commercial entity.

To take the survey, click on the link below

Survey | Qualtrics Survey Software

Thanks for your help with this research project!

PS: The Trulaske in the above link refers to the Trulaske College of Business at the University of Missouri and Qualtrics is the survey software that is used. Both of these can be checked via Google if you are worried about keyloggers or other cyberjerks.

Ha. These guys are doing the same thing on a hockey board I post on. We thought it was spam, but apparently it's legit.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I'd feel better about it if it linked to UoM, then from there linked to the survey.

Yes, I am on the Lets Go Blues forum.

Are these the only two forums this survey is posted on? Weird.

That is a good idea. I am going to look into a university webpage at the university right now. In the meantime, Qualtrics is probably the biggest survey software handler in the country (maybe Surveymonkey is bigger) and I am pretty sure that everything is in their cloud.

No, it is on about 8 forums right now. I am hoping for about 20 different types of products and forums.

You need to add an option under every question for "I'm a badass" so that Doofy can fill out the survey.

FYI, chinsch asked permission from us before posting. Legit education-related surveys have usually done that in the past.

Mizzou and KU are such over rated teams.

Also Columbia isn't nearly as fun as Madison or even Ann Arbor.

I bailed on it. Too long and, frankly, silly.

Can we talk about the survey yet? Those questions at the end about Steve Job's penis were weird.

If anyone else wants to take a shot at this I would appreciate it. The average time is 21 minutes so it is not short. Thanks for your help
