This has been around for a while and I ran across it while doing video greeting research. Yahoo! will enter you in a $1000 sweepstakes after you post a video greeting and fill out a survey.
I love the hints on what not to do on cam:
1. Don’t take your clothes off.
2. Don’t use obscene language.
3. Don’t give out your full contact information.
The survey is utterly useless. Two questions about why you posted a video greeting, what your experience was (A breeze, ok, nervous, other. Huh?) and an essay about what you think about video greetings.
Who wrote these utterly useless questions? No value whatsoever to the marketing department. They could have spent more time crafting questions to gather additional insight from their leading edge members.
Note to Yahoo!: It would be good if you could tell who, and how many times, your video was viewed.
At the end of the survey is asks for my name, address and email. I’m logged in as a paying member, why don’t they link your account info to this and save me the trouble of re-typing information they already have in their databases?
