Would you like to take a survey? (With Giveaway Goodness)

"Do you like to eat beans? Do you like George Wendt? Would you like to eat beans with George Wendt?"

Oh Animaniacs, you were the silliest. Remember their sketch about the Survey Ladies? (If you don't, here's a brief refresher.) There's something about that sketch that has stayed with me all these years such that now, whenever I think of surveys, I immediately think of Animaniacs.

While I'm not asking you about beans or George Wendt, I am interested in hearing your opinions about this blog. As I wrote about last week, I'm really starting to think about what I'm doing with this blog and how to make it a fab experience for all involved.

To that effect, I'm running a survey about this blog and your experience and interactions with it between now and July 3, 2011.

If you complete this survey, you also have the option of participating in a giveaway for a $25 Visa Gift Card. Why? Because bribing people to take surveys works, says the incentivist Communications Major. No seriously, though - I'm invested in shelling out a little money to get folks to open up about their experiences with this blog.

Your responses will be kept confidential and, as weird as this sounds, used only for marketing purposes. I'm looking to find out what it is that draws people to my blog, keeps them reading, and what makes them connect with the material.
