I Took It, So Should You

I took itJust a quick note to all the web designers and developers out there: Head on over to A List Apart and take their 2007 Web Design Survey. You'll help generate some useful data about our industry, and also have a chance to win event tickets, an iPod, or other swag. If you're like me, you've probably spent hours reading ALA's articles over the years, so a 10 minute survey doesn't seem like much to ask.

(Found via Essential Keystrokes, who got it from Working Solo.)

See, that wasn't so bad! Actually, I thought the range of questions they asked were interesting and well thought out.

Very quick and easy.  I thought they should have asked about employment (self-employed/freelance vs agency) a bit earlier.  There were a few questions early on (job title, your boss's expectations) that weren't terribly relevant to the self-employed.

I'm interested in seeing the results.  There's not a lot of info like this about web designers, but if anyone can gather it, ALA can.

Interestin, I went ahead with the survey as well. Some of the questions were pretty interesting!

I was not able to start the survey.!! Will try again later.

Tahnks for the link. Heading over now, unless I'm late to the party -- which is my usual M.O. lately.

Glad I found your blog.

Surveys on the web are out of control. Is it me or do you get surveys for everything from your online banking experience to how you enjoyed your stay at Motel 6. They are inaccurate and just a waste of time.

They're great pieces of linkbait, and that's why you'll keep seeing more and more every day :)

I had taken this when it popped up, and I also thought it asked some interested questions. It's amazing how large A List Apart's role in shaping modern design is.

Yep, it was a piece of cake. Got some more precious experience now ;)

I took it, too. It's very helpful.

(Comment added Wed, 04/16/2008 - 18:06)

Just took it as well, useful.

(Comment added Mon, 04/21/2008 - 05:17)

I will also take that survey because I think that this is very important in developing the web.
