fiddling with Sparklit

I need a survey app for my Tools & Issues course this fall, so I need to decide between SurveyMonkey (which I’ve used before), Flash-Gear (not as functional as I’d like), and Sparklit, which I saw for the first time over at George’s place.

So now I’m fiddling around with Sparklit to see if it’ll suit the assignment I’m building, and I’d love to know more about my audience here. Perhaps you’ll humor me? (And if none of these descriptions suit you, please feel free to add to them in the comments. I just wrote down ten categories I know some of you fit into.)








Test-Driving Sparklit Polls


Who are all you smart, good-looking people, anyway?




  I'm a Rhet/Comp/Lit person who found you through other Rhet/Comp/Lit Blogs.  I worked with you in one of your previous professional lives. 
  I'm a Rhet/Comp/Lit person, and I started reading you after we met at a conference.  I like dogs. I like to read other people who like dogs, even if they don't write about their dog very much. 
  I'm related to you.  I followed the links from That Other Blog With the Post About Cast Fetishization. 
  I'm your drinking buddy.  I read you because I read your husband and I want to know the other half of that story. 
  I'm your art friend.  I don't know who I am or why I read you, ever. How long has this been going on? 
  I'm your colleague.

There was no category for "I want to be your drinking buddy . . . " (I would have chosen that one.) (hee hee)

For my online surveys, I've used "freeonlinesurveys.com." It's a cheesy name, but I liked the results. The survey wasn't exactly free since I was looking for more than 50 respondents, but it might suit your needs, too.

Can't remember how I found you... but it was none of the above. As I recall, I recommended Mr. Husband's (then boyfriend) blog to you... which of course you already knew.

B - Surely our paths will cross at a conference sometime and we can put that plan into action.

P - I think you did! And so did someone else that spring. And another person thought I actually was him, running a side project blog. Too funny, since we had only been dating a few months. Hope all is fab with your new endeavor, btw!

Thanks to everyone who participated! I never really expected that many responses!
