Here is my survey:

Analyzing the results of my survey is very easy…because there weren’t any. I tweeted to different business organizations and newspapers/ blogs in Brooklyn. I posted on their Facebook pages, pleading with people to take my survey, but still no one did.

I think coming from an unknown news organization, asking people to follow a link to an unknown website, will never work because people have no incentive to click, and no reason to trust that I am not a spammer.

If I had more time, I would print out my survey and go around to different businesses in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, asking individuals what they think. I’m aware this isn’t online “interactive”, but people will have a harder time saying “no” to taking a survey if I am there, in person, asking them to take it.
