That link is a doubleclick add link. Not exactly “Everything is totally anonymous” since double click has a very persistant cookie.

If this is just an harmless questionnaire and it’s anonymous why is the link through a doubleclick ad?

Shouldn’t the question about regularity of visiting also address the question of rss? I couldn’t say how often I visit the site but get the rss as often as it’s published.

To address the concerns above: It’s a survey for advertisers, whch is why it’s going through Doubleclick. The survey is anonymous because it doesn’t ask for any identifying information. Whether Doubleclick plants a cookie, I don’t know. But I 100 percent confident the survey is straight up. The ad sales just want some demographics.

Yeah, but here’s the rub….
I’m one of those idiots that, even though I fully realize that advertisers fund most media outlets, I abhor advertising/advertisers. I would love a world free of commercials. I know that likely wont happen, but until it does, I have TiVo to fast forward past the rubbish.
Anyway, the last thing I’m going to do is take a survey to help them out. I don’t need an ad exec crawling around me brain. As I said, I know I’m an idiot about it, but when it comes to this stuff, I turn into a 12 year old.
Sorry mate.

When I click on the link, it tells me that the survey is not available at that address. What gives?

I haven’t been here in weeks. You guys never update anything…It takes days for you to post Mac news that’s been on other sites forever. It’s easier to get my information at another site.
I just popped in to do this survey so that I could complain. Guess what? The survey isn’t up.
Get on the ball, if you want to have a news site, make it a news site. If you want a history site, then rename the damn thing.

same as above. i browse religiously among a dozen of mac-related sites daily; because of wired i come to this site every once and then, only to see that news are a ‘monthly’ thing. and like the guy in the last comment, i saw the survey and dove right in thinking about time they get their act together… and the dam survey doesn’t work! wake up guys, this is the web not national geographic!

If you want a survey for your site; then put it on your site. Sayings it’s a survery for your site and pushing it through doubleclick means its for them! Sleazy imho. I’m not going to do your survey.
