So I was reading up on cellphones on ZDNet and had a survey pop-up in one of those annoying JavaScript popup windows. It wasn’t banner sized, so I let it load. It was in invitation to take a survey on internet usage. Why not, I think.
I follow a link to find out if I was eligible (I didn’t want to take some long survey only to find out I wasn’t eligible) It loaded the rules page and at the bottom of this there was a message: use your back button to return to the survey. There was no back button. Whoever coded the pop-up had loaded it with no toolbar. brilliant.
So I got back to the survey with a right-click, said yeah, I’ll take it. the first question:
1. Have you used or visited in the past 12 months:
A. A community feature/site on any Web site?
B. A community feature/site on ZDNet?
I’m a web professional, and I have no idea what they are talking about. I guess simply typing this ‘blog might be considered a community feature.
Hello comunity.
Toward the end of the survey, they ask what I do professionally. There is no place for any sort of design. They have marketer, programmer, etc, but not even graphic designer much less interface/interaction/information design.
