Blog Survey results

This post shares some findings from the blog readers’ survey conducted last year. 34 responses were received over a span of 2 weeks, which were very encouraging.

Mohan, Navaneethan, Sandesh and Mridula were the first to respond (My first response team!). Survey results are self explanatory. Sharing the questions and the answers below:

Travelogues and reviews were most liked, while self praises and paid reviews were least liked. Lot of entries said they don’t mind paid reviews or 1 or 2 per month is fine, but they will be reduced to minimal to zero in the overall long term interest of the blog.

About 50% of readers are total strangers, while rest consisted of regular readers, friends and relatives. Close to 50% feel lazy to comment. Majority are IT professionals…Key take homes from the survey: Reconsider design, focus on spelling and grammar errors,

Thanks to everyone of you for your valuable inputs.

As promised, prime number entries were by Navaneethan (2), Sandesh Karanth (5),Namratha (7), Jyoti Ajay (13), Ajay Simha Matam (19),Ram (23), Vinodh (29). (missing prime number entries-3,11,17 and 31 were by Anonymous respondents-I could get blog URL of only Sandesh, Ram and Jyoti )

A good feedback also means I need to take more responsibility and commitment in running the blog.

Thanks Again
