Have you seen the new tools on PeopleBrowsr.com? Their marketing people must suck. Why else would @PeopleBrowsr not be used by everyone?

LoveStats’ Theory on Declining Response Rate

// July 5th, 2009 // Comments // Quote

The solution, though simple, is long term. Let’s improve surveys. Shorten them, improve the quality, make them real. The most incredible thing is that we already know how to do this. Over time, people will begin to see the change. They will start to appreciate marketing research surveys again. A new generation of responders will see what we are offering and choose to be a part of it. It always feels good to know that you’ve made an important contribution. It feels even better when that contribution was fun to make.

I know I shouldn’t take pics while driving but these are so cool. There is a line of about 20 of them.

Catching Up..

So, I’ve been helping coach my kid’s T-Ball team.

We got a new roommate three months ago.

And I’ve been putting in 75 hours a week at the office.

Living in the northeast, baseball season finishes early.  Lexie is now sleeping through the night. Things are still pretty insane at work, but at least I have some time to string more than 140 characters together.

I have a list of about 125 topics to write about, so there will be a lot of new things coming soon.
